The curse of the Magic C/PG
Whens the last time we had both a good pg and C?
shaq and penny
ever since..we had either a.) a good pg and no C or b.) a good C and a mediocre pg.
Armstrong was pretty good when eh was with us..then we got stuck with the likes of reece gaines, jeryll sasser, shammond williams, tyron lue..
now we have dwight and are stuck with nelson, arroyo, dooling..

Agreed, Rony will always stay underrated here.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

Rony Seikaly was probably the coolest player we ever had, that dude should have been in film. He's probably my all time favorite Magic man. Seik was always underrated, and part of that was because he was Shaq's replacement. He averaged 17 and 10 with the Magic.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

This was the beginning of building cap space for what was player Hill and T-Mac.

Well, I think you have your answer if we are talking about Seikaly with such fond terms. He was ok, but I also remember his nickname at the time..... the Greek Tragedy. He wasn't that great. We've had only three very good centers in the history of this franchise, Catledge, Shaq, and now Dwight. The rest were problematic.

Rony Seikaly should be listed there, I beleive Cat was a power forward wasn't he? Seikaly averged 17 and 10 here, those are some damned good numbers considering we WERE going to go with Felton Spencer. Seikaly played really well here, he wasn't problematic, the Magic's love for Ike Austin is what was problematic.

Thats true, my bad. I thought they moved him there because of Greg Kite, but your right, he was a pf. So there were only two then. Sure we had worse at the position, but usually great players don't get disparaging nicknames.
