Like him as a lead guard or off guard?

Just managed to tune in time to see Suggs continue his form! Nice couple of possessions

At least Isaac and Suggs make defense interesting

Coming out of college, he was a better off the dribble shooter than set shooter.

I'd play him at the lead guard spot for a while to get him reps but IMO he's a starter regardless of which guard spot you want to play him in.

One thing I like about Bol is he never brings the ball low when he rebounds

A very interesting "Is this anything?" tonight.

It's definitely something when The Magic have the best record at the All-Star Break in NBA History of teams that have started 5-20.

Houstan plays better defense than I first gave him credit for.

Not even once. He's been so close to being a fan favorite and I think he's getting over the hump here
