Nobody is answering who he should play over lol. Can't play all of them.

Every team in the NBA would love to have Fultz in the rotation but not some Magic fans, go figure

It is what it is due to injuries but Admiral is put in a tough spot every time he’s asked to play at the 5.

WCJ/Goga
Paolo/Isaac

Moe can play when Isaac rests or there are specific matchups he can feast on.

Quite an overreaction.

Who is Moe better than consistently on offense and defense from that four?

Not playing over Paolo
Isaac has WAY more impact even with way less offense
Goga can get exploited in small-ball, sure, but again, way better defense and can be used as a passer
Moe has feasted with Joe Ingles and bullies his way inside.. gives up rebounding and defense.

I'm in the same camp, I think we should have Goga as the backup center. I thought Goga shouldve been the backup center to begin the season tbh. He played well to end last season.

I don't think we can let Goga go in FA because if Isaac was ever to get injured again, Mo becomes a complete liability because his lack of interior D and mediocre rebounding.

I wonder if we offer Chuma a min contract next summer or not

*Of course* they're going to play. And I would put Carter back into the starting lineup if I was making the decision.

But I just don't see the need for Fultz. Outside of another ball handler, he doesn't *really* provide anything they're really missing right now. He is a worse defender than Black. He's a worse and more unwilling shooter than anyone else on roster. And whether it was the knee or something else, he wasn't nearly as effective at the few things (attacking/finishing and midrange jumpers) early on this yeare as he was last year.

So what's the point? He's a free agent to be too. Just send him on his way.

This game was the same as Brooklyn and Nets. We can’t match the 3 point shooting. If we are going to continue being a bad shooting team we need more perimeter defenders.

This was a Celtics core flexing and their bench backed them up.

The reality is that he’s Franz brother so Goga is probably the odd man out if we are assuming Carter isn’t being moved . That’s just the reality if we factor in things that aren’t black and white.

"In the rotation" for a top 30 PG is probably correct.
