Go magic

[Bensational]

Controversial question: would you rather have Orlando’s stable of drafted players or Houston’s?

If our young guys had Houston’s veteran supporting cast (FVV, Brooks, Adams) how much better would we be? Better than Houston is now?

Orlando, but it’s relatively close.

But Houston has done way, way better with their non-draft pick acquisitions. As well as hitting on a bunch of picks outside the lotto.

How would you rank the drafted players between both teams?

Franz
Paolo
Sengun
Green
Suggs
Amen
Jabari
Eason
Black
Whitmore
Sheppard
Jett

Anyone I’m missing? I know they’ve had guys like Garuba and Christopher come and go.

How good is Eason?

Good enough that I wanted him badly in the draft

His defensive instincts are elite, his offense is coming around

I'd rank em (not just based on current ability but potential)

Rockets are deeper, Magic have the top talents.

On the outside chance that Amen develops a consistent 3 pt shot off the dribble, he can be the best of all the players

[GameOver25]

Team is starting to look fun again.

[Bensational]

It’s embarrassing how much more cohesive a washed up journeyman PG makes our offense look.

But also, team working to make the extra pass is huge. Getting back to “by committee”.

Team is starting to look fun again.

The energy is there on both ends

Pushing the pace more has helped alot for offense as well. Love seeing Franz pushing the pace off rebounds

[eyriq]

Good start. JI's evolution into a big seems complete

[Bensational]

Goga and Black look like they’re asleep

[VFX]

I ordered these tickets a while ago and ended up not going.

Glad I didnt go.

[ogmagicfan]

Magic cant buy a basket right now

TDS touch at the rim is the antithesis of Franz

[Rainwater]

The bench is not good

[ogmagicfan]

How do yall think Cole & Black will look next to each other on the bench once Cole comes back?

Assuming CoJo will be the starter for the rest of the season

[basketballRob]

Franz still struggling

The bench aside they haven’t looked bad.

[ogmagicfan]

Even though Black missed that 3, his form looks alot better. More fluid/quicker.
