I know it's just summer league, but what in the ___ did our front office see in Jett Howard that they thought was better than Keyonte George? Even worse, George was actually slotted for that range of the draft, and they passed on him to REACH for Howard. I guess we'll see, but dude...

I don’t know man. I did watched the highlights of his last game. A lot of forced shots that weren’t great but they went in. I’m reluctantly going to watch his last nights game.

Maybe he’s too much like Cole without the teachable mindset?

If I am reading the image correctly, Banchero is replacing Fultz head with Black. Deep meaning there?

Isiah Thomas asking coach some very probing questions. Leading, but probing.

I thought Banchero was holding a placard over Fultz. But I can see his palms down.

Franz was the biggest stiff I'd ever seen during summer league and that turned out to be a bad take. Jett looking like he took the baton from Franz but hopefully that turns out false too.

Ok i havent wanted to pull a player down as much as i want kai to do so. So all those posters would shut up. When we face the Knicks i want that fata$$ former Dukie 6'3 Keels to dunk on kai.


On the family pic the Magic posted, one comment said "I hope you all get injured". Lunatics for a non NBA talent.

Wonder if the Magic waits until an hour before game time to announce that Black and Howard will not be playing?

So now everyone loves George… lol
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Honestly is Kai Sotto worse than the crap we're putting out there? I dont need to see another second of DJ Wilson.

best thing this FO and coaching staff put together,even if no one understand that,they deserve so much credit for this.

if we are gonna have winning seasons it's because of how crazy unite this group is,not for the talent.

Hey, I’m a Baylor alumni, still live in Texas and try to make it down to Waco for the bigger homes games.

I have been a big George fan. I have been burnt by being a homer for my school(s) before in multiple ways — either the guys doesn’t pan out or he goes and stars elsewhere.

I just let the process play out this year given it was a deep class. But I’m shaking my head a bit right now about Jett over George. It’s super early. I hope it all works out. I’m cheering for Jett.

I think Black will be better than Giddey, and it's not really going to be close.

So far he looked better than in college, and way better than i thought he will.

Still, he goes on main roster and where execlly they will play him?

They have Clarkson;Sexton providing basically identicall stuff he does, being that combo scoring guards. Dunn looked solid last year as well.

Maybe they will trade one of them , but i still need to see him in smaller role doing stuff, not being 25 FGA a night player and see how he adjusts to much smaller role than he has in SL.


Maybe he will be this year's Donovan Mitchell, or just SL wonder , time will tell.
