btw guys, if we do draft Taylor Hendricks, what position is he going to play? Paolo is a 4 and Wendell is 5. He could definitely be in the rotation, but is he going to be a backup next year?
I'd suggest shifting Paolo and Franz to small forward and shooting guard


Wagner isn't a 2. Like at all.

He's fine there. He can guard it. He can play the role. I don't get why people say he can't

I am not super interested in upsizing the lineup to accommodate a big man draft pick.

It's ok to bring guys off the bench provided there's a clear role for them to play. Backups can still play 25+ MPG, ya know?

Cole's playing 26 MPG right now at guard. A versatile big/forward could carve out plenty of minutes here.

Dude shoots 48% from 3 and still got traded in the middle of the season.


Yeah I was surprised when the Clippers traded him.

He was going for a dunk. That is the act of shooting.

Gotta take care of the ball. 12 v 5 TO's. They've taken 11 more shots than us.

I wish we would not block the ball out of bounds, that almost always sets up the other team for some kind of point.

They're just packing the lane and daring the Magic to take threes on every single possession.

Just want the Magic with play with toughness they lacked in the first quarter.

Fair enough. Jumbo lineups have pros and cons. It's nice having 2 6'10 wings that can play multiple positions and if you had a big forward like we're talking about and have a guard that can switch on defense ... you've got something

This reminds me of the Bucks games. The paint is WIDE open, especially to a team that gets most of their points in the paint. Not understanding our defensive scheme at all.

Mem has clamped us down defensively and that is leading to letdown defensive effort. Team plays too much depending on how offense is going.

Our offense just looks so simple compared to a team like the Thunder. So much over-dribbling and ISO play on nearly every play.
