I’d like to disagree…but you can’t teach what he’s got. MIA would probably make a star out of him. Dog!

Kevon is limited to 50 games that he's allowed to play.

Right? I think when roster construction starts in earnest next offseason he could be retained.

Man Cam Whitmore looks pretty saucy thus far.

And this is something i've stated before. We have too many talented ... High BBIQ players to just live and die by the 3. but... i also do truly believe that a lot of our players will take step forward as well... which will add additional dimensions to our playing style. Unpredictability will allow us to inevitably pick apart teams on the matchups. With the best offensive options naturally getting the most touches on most nights due to their effectiveness on that end of the court.

The Locked on Houston guy that was putting down Paolo last season is now the Locked on NBA guy. Here he is talking Magic basketball with Philip.

Chicago just announced their preseason schedule, so ours should be today or tomorrow.

Magic trade Fultz to the Bucks in this scenario. I love it for Orlando.

**** No!!!

Can't stand that dirty piece of **** and refuse to cheer for him

Yeah Allen feels so gross.
But skill set wise, aside from the cheap shots, doesn't seem bad. Hell, do the trade then park him on the bench with a whole heap of DNP-CD would be pretty cool.

I'm still not recovered from draft day. Been in a bad mood ever since.

It took a year for the Magic board to collectively recover from NAW's great SL performance so while I hope Cam does well on his team, he is barely going to get opportunities unless they move someone. Too many ball-needers there. Maybe they'll move KPJ or somebody.

Certainly a lot of interesting names on the first team list at the bottom.. even the MVPs are interesting but shows how much of a mirage it can be.

Dwight Howard is the only Orlando player to ever get a summer league award... seems like it might not be a mirage!

Well summer league discussion is only fun when people make definitive claims with anecdotal evidence over a 5 game span so you're not entirely wrong

ofc people were upset about not drafting NAW when alternative for him was Chuma .

Chuma's best case scenario is out of nba after Christmas of 2025. Most realistic scenario out of nba around April of 2024.

NAW for all the negatives, still comes off season where he shot 38,4% for 3. Okeke just shot 35% ...overall.

He had one good shooting year though.. 4 years into his career. Okeke had an okay one + decent defense - both kinda just suck or are solid "11th-13th men" and wouldn't be on team/shouldn't be on team (in Okeke's case).. not worth all the despair posts about NAW though.

Most realistic guy in hindsight to get annoyed about is Brandon Clarke. I remember questioning why he dropped and a lot of people were surprised he did

Well one solid shooting year is one more than Okeke will ever have. Okeke is actually getting worst every year :lol:

It goes without saying that 30 out of 30 teams would prefer NAW over Okeke, even if that's role of 11th man in rotation.
