That Cole will lead AB in every playmaker metric and minutes played.

Or probably Franz kept hitting those half court shots and the team were forced to cancel/delay games. Lol

Could see them going from 21 to some 38-ish wins. Very talented team. Star PG, star SF.

Who is their star SF?

Miller

From what Mosley has been saying in the pressers they’re gonna keep experimenting with lineups in this final preseason game. I’m not sure to what extent he was talking about though.

Also I have another question:
Is Bally Sports going to carry Orlando Magic game all season as local broadcast? I heard they were filing for bankruptcy and also in talk with Amazon Prime.

I wanna buy what coach said about AB, but the JI hype leads me to believe he's just being diplomatic.

I feel Harris’s rotational spot is at highest risk.

Cole needs to match Harris’s shooting and provide self creation and play making and I see him hard to displace. Magic still needs as much self creation and play making they can get.

Cole needs to avoid long slumps and bring is A game. Once Cole loses his spot, I don’t see him getting it back.

It's at the point where I think this agenda is going to have played itself out before the regular season even starts.

Btw Harris is real good at man to man defense hence he won playing time in last year's playoff

Defense definitely helps Harris get playing time. Jett or Silva being average at defense like in my opinion can have them bypass Harris especially if Black and JI are on the floor.

Well... wasnt JIs hype last season justified? Despite the less mins and games played...

In the pod squad pod with Mosley he basically admitted that they have an idea what they want rotation wise but ultimately it comes down to who works best around Paolo and Franz. Almost as an afterthought he mentioned Suggs, KCP, and WCJ. I think things are more fluid than we expect.
