That was a really interesting play they attempted to run for Hezonja. Looked like Hezonja was going to set an off-ball screen for Fournier and Fournier at the last minute set it for Hezonja. Would have been nice had Biz not moved on his screen.

No. We just let him pad his stats here.

Green literally drop the ball after a rebound almost for a turnover

Hopefully the longer Ross plays the more the Magic realize he's more deserving of the ball than Fournier. Yuck

If anyone thought Evan was a good player at any point, I question that individual's basketball judgment.

I can't honestly say I would have taken him over Dipo with the info we had but I'm SHOCKED that he didn't go top 5 in such a weak draft.


Main reason I think was because the "combo guard" tag was looked at as a negative.

Yeah but a good number of US had him in our top 5. At least 5 of us, if not a ton more. How can so many GM's be so bad?

I get wanting a high pick, but we're not going to lose every remaining game. Being in a competitive game at home isn't a bad thing to help these guys gel and grow.

I love how Vogel leaves the guys not playing well in longer...effective tank method but unfortunately he isn't tanking

He's skilled. As in a good shooter etc. but his selfishness and lack of awareness are super irritating and toxic for a team

I was prepared to go with either Oladipo or McCollum at #2. Think him being a college senior and playing in the Patriot League hurt his stock the most.

Saw maybe 4-5 Magic games last year (cause I love Gordon). Must have been the games where had good games.

I'm not a fan but we're not using him well either. What you guys did with Ross is what we should be doing with Evan. He should be standing set at the 3 point line waiting for a pass. He's a good-to-great shooter when set.

Really would love to bring in a D-League guy to play instead of Green.

Biyombo tries his nuts off on the wing to defend McCollum. Green stands and watches his man beat him to the rebound.
