Really hope we don't give up on this kid. He has bounce in his step. :nod:

He had an awful summer league. Not the best way to show how much youve improved in the summer. Wouldnt surprise me if Frazier takes his spot on the team.

Well the Magic needs depth at 3rd string SG and at 3rd string SF. I think both have a great shot at making the opening night roster.

He doesnt seem to improve his 3 pt shooting at all
if he doesnt do that he may soon be out of this league

I’m pretty confident this is a troll thread.

His jump shot makes me ill. It's like hes waiting to get blocked.

Our offense was abysmal. I suspect everyone is singling out Iwundu because he had a particularly ugly start to one of the games, but everyone was awful. You'd obviously want to see more from him heading into his second year, but there really aren't any obviously better alternatives vying for the roster spot he occupied last year.

I actually don’t hate Iwundu as much as most here, I just think he got incredibly spoiled last year with easily making the rotation and getting the insane amount of play time that he did. The kid needs to spend more time with the Lakeland Magic and prove himself after this summer league performance.

Singling out? The thread is about Iwundu...

He is turning 24 in few months, he is not really a kid.
But i agree on how easly he got to rotation, because Magic didn't have anybody else to play.

I don't expect anything from second round rookies but still it's amzing how somebody averages 15+ppg at college goes to nba and has zero offensive skills.

Hasn't really shown any growth to me. He has some good physical tools but if he wants to stick in this league he has to unlock that jumpshot.

Sent from my [Trap Phone] using RealGM mobile app also its about to be evaluation year part 2

I thought he will become our Jimmy Butler QQ but seems he hasnt improve.Theres still time in the offseason but Id have to be a really naive to belive he will improve THAT much... but hey what else we can do but hope...

1st season of Jimmy B
8,5 mpg 2.6 ppg .405 fg .182 3pt
vs Wes
16.5 mpg 3.7 ppg .427 fg .196 3pt

pretty similiar though Wes played a lot more

jimmy in 2nd season had huge jump from 8 mins to
26 mins 8.6 ppg .467 fg .381 3pt

that was a huge jump in 3 pt category and overall shooting percentage

next years Jimmy had ups and downs in terms of 3 pt percentage and never became lights out but still always hovered around 28-38%

3rd year he choked a bit and percentages went down to
38.7 mpg 13.1 ppg .397 .283

and then the breakout season
38.7mpg 20ppg .462 .378

so
its too early to scratch Wes off but imo it all depends if he can improve his shot (not only 3 pt but overall)
also should be noted Jimmy was younger than Wes when he was in his 1st year so that isnt very optimistic
but again ....we can only hope
