I am sick of this team playing 4 on 5 on offensive sets given the lack of a competent SG. A capable starting SG and a capable backup SG are the major needs of this team moving forward. My chatbot statement of the day.

It’s been said many times before, but a Fultz-Suggs backcourt is not the answer. I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s not that.

It can easily be rejected that Fultz did not "get the ball" to the other starters, as beyond the Aces Banchero and F-Wagner putting up a combined 38 FG attempts, even M-Wagner had 7 FG attempts.

There were PLENTY of shots available and distributed for all five starters.

This is on the scheme, and thus, is on coach. Orlando does not have an offense that gets shots from the SG slot. Why?

We can discuss about that a lot, but, objectively, it's not on Fultz.



Can someone look up how often Banchero and F-Wagner take a shot vs. pass when they have the ball? As this might be a "blackhole" kind of thing from those two.

Amen Brother!

Look, we all see the problem, and have different solutions. That's what makes this discussion fun!

We knew Suggs and Fultz can't coexist before watching single min of them together. It's no brainer.

You have PG forced into shooting guard role, who happends to have very poor jumpshot, to benefit older, upcomming UFA, who is easly top 5 worst starting PG but has army of fans like Payton used to have.
