It’s probably a precaution will see but he should be back for LAL rematch but we might get to see some Howard or Black as 2 guard off the bench.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Does that mean we get to see Black in significant minutes?

It looks like we’ll get that Gary Harris/Suggs starting unit tonight.

I hope this means Black will get minutes off the bench! Black V George would be great to see.

I’m expecting Franz and Paolo to run point more than Suggs tonight.

I’m not betting on Suggs running point full time but I sure as hell want to see it and hope it’s successful.

Tough to win in Utah. A win tonight after those 2 losses will be more impressive than win either of those 2 LA games. I think they're taking a look at #4 at the 1. That's where they envisioned him, that's where he envisioned himself, and that's where all the scouts envisioned him.

I have this theory that if #4 tries too hard to playmake as the PG, we wont see his ultra-aggressive defensive moves like what we saw before. He will either try to conserve energy or be too tired to do.both.

I'm hoping coach will make his role advancing the ball over half way, let Paolo / Franz run the offense. Thats all we need
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

Skeptical of Suggs at PG but here's hoping it'll work out

If we put ourselves in his shoes.. he's going to want to prove something tonight. I think he plays poised. I think he remembers all the things everyone was saying he couldn't do. He's a point guard at heart. But.. I am an optimistic person and a stan so.... at least I'm a fan of a guy who cares. I played the way he plays so I'm biased.

Bally’s is down yet again. It’s been down every day this week. The NBA needs to step in…. Not that they know how to build a proper streaming service either.

I prefer Paolo operating at the elbows and baseline in isolation with spacing. I feel like good things happened often when we did that last year.

I like Suggs but im realistic enough to know he cant do both things at once.

Also, Defensive Suggs > PG Suggs. More oppoments featlr him when he is locked on in that area.

Return to Orlando Magic
