Going to spam this because it is so conclusive that Paolo is a stud.

Paolo is not the problem. For whatever reason Franz has been slumping. Paolo has been playing like a top 10 player in the league.

14 games post all-star break and the Magic are 5-9.

Imagine how much better Paolo’s numbers would look without the rust induced games coming back from injury. Dude is a beast, shame on anyone on here who hated on him while he was still clearly recovering.

People are impatient

30ppg on 60 TS% are all-nba numbers. Damn shame that he got injured.

One of the most surprising parts about CoJo is he plays with energy and hustles, genuinely impressed how many o boards he's gotten since becoming a starter

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Not for anything, Washington’s offense look just like ours most nights.

AB might be the only Magic having a bad game

CoJo locking this starting gig up lolz

An indictment on AB and Cole TBH.

Not really anything to do with AB. Mosley starts third stringers for bench continuity.

AB should be further along... but I'm not giving up on him because of the slow development. Still, he should be able to start over CoJo as a high lotto pick.

[Knightro]

Play Mac the whole 4th quarter you cowards.

[thelead]

LOL at WCJ... Jesus...

[eyriq]

Wizards are a clown show good lord

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Not for anything but I really wish this was the 4th quarter.

[Howard Mass]

I bet we get to see Mac McClung play tonight.

Unrelated but related to AB - his splits in W’s and L’s highlight how much of a swin factor AB’s 3pt shooting is. In 30 W’s he shoots 43% from 3 and averages 10ppg with a 112 ortg. In 36 L’s he shoots 20% and averages 7ppg with a 90 ortg. Same attempts. All other numbers are pretty much the same except drtg (big swing).

[JF5]

Welp that should be it for the starters

[ogmagicfan]

I think it will be Mcclung time shortly

Wizards are a clown show good lord

They're an embarrassment. League wants to talk about expansion with teams like this??? GTFO

There's not enough talent for another 2 teams.

He needs a bigger national TV audience.

They beat Denver less than a week ago.

The NBA has a tanking problem, not a talent problem.
