Are you talking about him replacing one of DJ, Fultz or MCW?

I would love to see DJ ramp up his USG a bit. He's been the most efficient player on the team for a couple of year's now. Its his contract year, so hopefully we see another solid year from him.

No: I mean Lin would look good as Mr 14th man on the bench.

I would be very surprised if the Magic committed another guaranteed contract to a PG with three already on the roster and another on a two-way deal.

He's not a good shooter and can't defend the wing (and that was pre-injury). So he doesn't fill any skill/role needs.

I'd also prefer not to bring in a PG to that role because of the Fultz context. DJ is a good mentor for him already, and MCW will make him earn every minute. In my opinion, bringing in another PG right now would show mistrust from FO for the current PG rotation - in particular Fultz.

I'd rather we left that roster spot open for trade and mid season addition flexibility.

I am always skeptic of these heavily edited videos. For every three-in-a-row made; how do we not know that the next three were missed?

Still, there is nice form, and also, a high and quick release.

What, just look at new Lebron and his workout , he has star written all over himself

Watch on YouTube

funnies part about it is that he was like 18 when this was filmed

btw what a wasted potential he is :nonono:

In general i agree, summer workouts /predraft footages are waste of time.
There was that one video where Thon Maker was looking like 7'0 Steph Curry.

His form looks pretty, he just needs to keep it consistent. In game his form changes sometimes from shot to shot. Pausing in the air too long and releasing a flat ball. He's come a long way from being a complete non shooter though and doesn't really get the credit for it.

That's his biggest issue imo. Someone who isn't a natural shooter, it's hard for them to consistently shoot the same shot during the game with fatigue and then going to the bench then coming back in maybe a little cold. You can see when he follows through he usually has a pretty shot but yeah sometimes he just flings a little bit.

In other news, Draymond signed a 4 year 100m extension...I think that makes DLo to ORL much less likely as it would have possibly been centered on AG...I’m kind of glad as I really like AG’s trajectory. He’s still got skill and BBIQ development going on - but I think he’s got a star attitude and, obviously, ridiculous physical tools. In a weakened East, I could easily see him as an All-Star soon...if Fultz can deliver, we won’t miss DLo

We always gotta take everything in the media with a grain of salt. But... as long as he puts in the reps, blood, sweat and tears.... he will make improvements. Just gotta see if he can make it consistently under game pressure. Happy he's putting in the work!

I noticed him still working on some shots around the elbow, too. I still have a strong feeling he will look to take more shots from that area this season - but I think his efficiency will make a big jump if he eliminates the desperation turnaround heaves he often goes to in those situations.

Draymond should be happy he landed on the warriors. not sure his career trajectory would have been the same elsewhere.

they mentioned how if he was a free agent he could have made 5 years 209 mill.... i laughed. haha
