2021 Vegas Summer League: Orlando Magic vs. Golden State Warriors - Game Thread

[NotMyKawhi]

Suggs is doing ok so far

[Knightro]

My only conclusion from this half is RJ at the 3 isn't going to work.

I don't think he's going to be playing much 3 once the games starting counting. He's a 1.5/2 only.

[KillMonger]

What i was looking for in suggs is whether or not he would play sped up.....for the most part he's been under control, the defense hasn't been able to speed him up....What i want to see now is how he responds to intense on ball pressure....Wagner had a tough half.....Defensively he's alright....Offensively trainwreck....He's short on all of his shots and doesn't seem to be able to get to his point of attack...I'm thinking it's Nerves, good thing is he has another half to make it up

RJ has been ok, not too bad on either end.....Cole is hustling for sure but he's still getting into the same problems, driving into traffic when he doesn't have an angle...It's clear that we are running some kind of bare bones offense because the flow isn't where it needs to be...First game though

[tooler]

You can see Kuminga is definitely benefiting from g league play

Oh, that explains a lot.

[Howard Mass]

Jalen Suggs has looked good out there.

Cole Anthony, RJ Hampton and Franz Wagner are adjusting.

Janis Timma looks good and hopefully he draws some trade interest as it's unlikely there is a spot for him here.

[Rainwater]

Besides Suggs I really don't see much else from this summer league team so far.

Those layups were out of this world...
The stolen ball from Franz was all his fault. Kuminga just did what he had to

Doesn’t matter where you play RJ if he plays like that idk what he was doing

[magicfan217]

Suggs and Kuminga look really solid. Wagner...sheesh. Gotta think...Wagner is not a 1 on 1 guy at this point. Cutter. Screener. Hopefully a shooter (eventually) and will play better when we are doing something besides just rolling the basketball out. Our halfcourt offense looks HORRIBLE....but I mean that's to be expected.

I LOVE the energy. These guys are playing HARD....We are going to lose a lot of games...just bring this kind of effort and show progress and the fans should be proud

[Magiclee]

Probably said earlier, but RJ ain't 6'7".

[VFX]

Kuminga is building a house.

[Cderryberry]

Everyone knew he could attack the basket but his shot is what’s keeping him from being an elite prospect

[Orl_Magic]

Wagner with 3 turnovers and 0 points. Kuminga is eating his lunch.

[bigdogdylan5]

The defensive intensity was really there from everyone it kept us in the game while offense was a bit of a mess. That is huge for us.

[Ducklett]

GSW abusing Franz on defense. Good lord.

Lol

Lets face it, Wagner got a low rating cause he looks like a mees and you’re expecting more.

Timma is A- because he made 2 threes. He’s been pretty bad on defense though. Late on rotations.

[Knightro]

Anthony and Hampton are both low key (high key?) very poor defenders.

[PrimeThyme]

Coles's defense is pathetic.

[Cderryberry]

Rj is playing at 150 mph he needs to take it slow and slow it down

[thelead]

Every magic player on the court other than Suggs right now:
