A great prize may have fallen into our lap as teams overthought the draft.

He was an elite prospect for a reason. We can’t ignore the struggles this past year. He and the coaching staff must address those but if they can ... who knows?

This team really likes to play moneyball, this said, I dont think they’ll ever blow it up under their watch.

Birch and Briscoe were top players in their class as well

Cole world, he is a hooper hooper, with all of our athletic long theoretical scorers it was time to get a flat out bucket getter !

We needed a guy who has a scorers mentality that won’t crap his pants when the playoffs come around, I see Cole as that.

Really confident for better or for worst, here’s hoping for best !

Anybody can be a bucket getter chucking shots with tunnel vision. .380 FG% 4.0 apg 3.5 TOpg

Poor Fultz. So do we trade him now? Fultz can't play off guard.
game on the line. Who you’d want to take a perimeter jumper? Cole or fultz?

I think fultz will be good off the bench if he cant get the jumper going

It will be interesting maybe it will depend on matchup and or time and situation.

Either one will be better for me than having to watch Fournier trip over his own feet and have the ball bounce off his face as the clock runs out.

Yes, they like what the scouts are saying before there is any context to statistical data. Why hire a scouting service if you trade all your 2nd rounders and go off of data a year prior?

Translation: I’m justifying my pick because I did the opposite the last three years.

Those numbers are not great in a vacuum but I think it’s important to look at those in context, but I guess we will see

Why would he have to play off ball when cool
Is a good catch and shoot option ?

Who's cool? Cole? Are you saying Fultz will still be our main ball handler and Cole will play off ball? Cole's game is entirely based on being the primary ball handler.

Did he accidentally turn in the wrong name on the card?

So basically Cole will hang out around the baseline while Buddy Ball is played.

Oh I get it. Same old Magic!

there is risk . But we have needed a player that can create offense, create a shot for himself. At worse, maybe he is a Lou Williams spark plug. Fultz is big enough to guard SG's if they tried to play them together at times.

Lillard and McCollum

We have to have to have to have to have to ... have to get rid of Evan before the season starts.

Force Cole Anthony and Chuma Okeke into the starting lineup and get a new era rolling.

Fultz
Anthony
Okeke
Isaac
Vuc or Bamba

Worst floor spacing team in the league maybe?

Not that I’m not opposed to getting rid of Evan.

Can always pass the ball to evan or vuc :wink:

I love Isaac but I’ve come to terms that he’s an injury waiting to happen

I don’t see that as the long term roster. We still need a franchise talent.

But ...

Fultz
Anthony
Chuma
AG
Vuc

Should be a good tank roster in an improved East considering we were under .500 last year with more seasoned players.

Hopefully we can land a top 5 pick in 2021 while developing Fultz, Anthony, Chuma and Bamba.

Don’t do that, you know I meant Cole haha.

They can share ball handling duties while Fultz works on regaining his shot (if he never does than he’s probably gone anyway). We need more guys who can handle and playmake, hell we depended on Fournier to run pick and Roll when we needed a bucket !

Cole shot well on catch and shoot 3’s so he’d be a capable floor spacer when Fultz is leading the attack.

It may not work out but I feel like the Magic are in a good situation to take the risk this year.

I am way more optimistic than most people so maybe that’s clouding my judgement but hopefully for both our sakes it works out for the best.

Pretty tank-tastic . Maybe move AG too for a wing that can play with Isaac a year down the road.
