Cole's gonna have to carry such an offensive burden with this 2nd unit. Not a lot of shot creation outside of him.

Jett is gonna find his way into the rotation. I think you've heard that somewhere :wink:

As expected Magic defense is just very very good. That alone is a .500 season at least imo.

Joe shouldn't be playmaking... he can barely move. He can direct traffic but definitely not playmake.

The versatility we have on defense is such a welcomed sight. Need to clean up things offensively but very solid 1st quarter.

Trying not to get too excited over one quarter. But it’s been a long long off season. Keep it up Magic

Didn't even think we played that great that quarter, honestly. Still up 9.

Yep. Offense is going to take a little time to gel and see what we really have.

It’ll be interesting to see how NBA ready Scoot is compared to Amen. Amen, like Black, seems to get caught on the perimeter a bit.

He’s looking a little old against all those young athletes.

Cole is solid. Eating crow from his rookie/sophomore seasons.
