Because there are zero playmakers on this roster. Feeding Vuc in the post is the only thing they have, and his offense is low % and one dimensional. This is inept roster construction and no planning, equating to an abysmal rotation that couldn’t score if it needed to.
PG - Career backup
SG- Rotation starter
SF- Young, no offensive game to speak of.
Pf- Wildly inconsistent game to game and quarter to quarter.
C- Skill set no longer relevant to current nba
Yeah. That’s what Orlando is fielding. There is no level of coaching that could or will help that lineup. Pretty pathetic product currently. Clifford is either going to age quickly trying to figure out how to solve a flawed roster, or he’s going to somehow win with less costing Orlando draft position. Either way, the FO should do their fu***** jobs and figure it out.
This. People gave Vogel to much ***t ( me included ) because we at times fail to see (overlook, or kind a ignore) main issue with Orlando Magic. And that issue is clear lack of nba talent on roster.
Guy on OPP nailed it last night with simple commentthe problem with our starters
is that at least 3 of them aren’t NBA starters
You know, I don't even mind that that this team lacks the starter talent. But it's the fact that the front office has punted on shooting and playmaking for two off-seasons in a league that is increasingly centered around it. There have been worse teams in the league that have at least attempted to adapt to a more modern game, like the Nets, Hawks, and even Sixers during their Hinkie days.
Hard to believe that more nights like last night aren't on the horizon with the current roster construction. I don't mind losing again this year. But I do wish that there was the mere stencil of an NBA team out there.
I still genuinely enjoy the bench units of Grant/Ross/Simmons/Gordon/Bamba because it's actually the closest to versatile, athletic team with multiple ball handlers.
Also, how did Fournier get named a captain? Holy hell.
