Just as a heads up, the Shot Doctor is strictly a satire radio host.

Don't take anything he says seriously.

I think we have to ask ourselves if he is even going to be at training camp before we can answer that. I still lean towards no. I just have to see him there to believe it. Enough talk about how much progress he is making, and show me that this kid can at the very least participate in training camp and make a real tangible step towards playing this season.

This vote of confidence means absolutely nothing in my eyes if he isnt there at the start of camp. He definitely won't be playing in the preseason if he isnt. In fact, I won't be convinced that we ever see him step on the court if that turns out to be the case.

That guy is not really serious. It’s a persona he has for the radio that’s comedic.

I don’t know if that is totally true?
It has been a while, but I remember them going to him on 580 The Team or whatever that radio station is, as a real source. He was on there all the time with insight and opinion. So who knows?
He wasn’t being funny or using satire in that clip, he was just making a statement. If he doesn’t know crap, saying take my word on it, is a great way to lose any credibility you have. If you have any to start?

Shot Dr is all satire. I actually dont know why he's on the radio.

I'm dating myself but I used to listen to Jerry O'Neill and Greg Warmuth back in the mid 90's. They were both pretty good and shot was this clown who worked there in some capacity. Jerry and Greg used to make fun of him constantly and it was pretty funny. He eventually worked his way up, filling in for Greg during his TV duties. Once he got the co-host gig you kind of cheered for him as the guy everyone made fun of, working his way up and into a legitimate roll/job. He was funny but you had to be there to understand the progression.

Personally? I think the Shot Doctor is harmless if you know in advance that it's all schtick.

I liked him better when he was paired with Jerry O'Neill because Jerry would play along with the nonsense and break Shot's balls relentlessly.

Kravitz and Shot isn't nearly as good because Brandon (who is a really good dude and improved a lot as the Magic pre/halftime/post game host as the year went on) just doesn't play along nearly as much.

You can tell that Brandon really wants to be a serious sports personality and pigeonholing Shot into that type of show just feels off.

He was great in small doses of "buffoonery" and "ploppage"...IMO, same as Larry the Cable Guy, who was hilarious as a regular call-in character - when he became a leading man...not so much. Same story.

For those that didn't catch the Chris Mannix / Dan Woike Crossover podcast this week, Sports Illustrated just put up a transcript. Here are some good points made by them:

I think for them it's a no brainer in the sense that you have to kind of view that $12 million against what they could use that $12 million on in the market. The ceiling for a player like Markelle Fultz is so much higher than anybody they could spend that money on, at least with the way the roster is constructed now.

...if he's good it's going to matter for this team. They're in sort of that could they be the fourth, maybe fifth best team in the East? It seems like they're sort of in that range and they can be pretty frisky. I think you try to give yourself as much time as you can and you don't want to be the team that invested a year in him, let him go because you don't believe in his option and then watch him go succeed somewhere else. If he's just on your bench in a jacket and sneakers for 70 games a season then so be it.

And most importantly, I think he's worked with the right coach. Ask Kemba Walker about the influence Steve Clifford had on him. Kemba Walker will be the first to tell you that Steve Clifford put him in good positions, showed him how to become an All-NBA type of player and it paid off. I think Steve Clifford is the exact guy that Markelle Fultz needs right now. There may be some tough love shown to Markelle Fultz, but I think there's going to be enough to get him back on track.
