This team isn't ready. This coaching staff isn't ready. This front office isn't ready. This is not a serious team

Imagine thinking that.


Thankfully we have fultz

Let’s just draft a PG for once!
We just did. 19 year olds aren't going to come in and take over. Scoot was the top PG prospect maybe ever, and he looks 3 years away.

Suggs absolutely baited Vucevic into that hook.

Forget about "taking over". He's straight up not playing point guard at this point in time. Maybe he will down the road, but right now he's basically playing SG.

He barely handles the ball and doesn't create basically anything off the dribble for himself or others.

Did the Magic hire Weltman's son to the coaching staff? There is this guy that looks like a younger version of him on the bench.

Imagine winning this one after playing hard two days in a row already. More exhausted than necessary. Black rocks too

That's not true. He brings the ball up 50% of the time

We drafted Black, ya know?


Black averages 16.7 front court touches per game with a 1.8 average time per possession. He barely dribbles and thus almost never creates anything off the dribble for himself or others.

I like the kid, but he's basically plays SG/SF right now (which isn't what should be happening to be clear, but it's what's happening).

FO drafts a PG... coaching staff uses him like a SG/SF... Not sure what you want. I bet they would do the same with Cason or Keyonte. It's the way our offense works.

Unless we force a GOOD vet PG on the team, I'm not sure anything changes.

I love that Black didn't hesitate to shoot that.

He would be if he played like he did last year. Something is not right with him.
