This is the most exciting thing to happen to the Orlando Magic all year.

Not sure Ross's game lends to a younger PG. IDK, maybe I'm wrong, Ross working off picks and such.

They should've brought KCP and Monk to meet him.

By the way did you see the Pope is under investigation for liking a booty pic online?

Why ? I think they can be lethal. Its hard to pay all the attention to running Ross when your point guard is a pull up threat.

And-1

Seriously, their games are quite complimentary.

The Lakers, Clippers, Nets, Bucks, and the Magic lol.

I don't really think Clifford has a choice, does he?

Neither guy is going to start which means they're almost guaranteed to share the floor quite a bit.

Both shooters, both ball handlers. Its the way the league is going. There are some fancy staff you can run for two movement shooters and two pick and roll players ( Ross is so underrated at this). They are both the reason we have even chance to play elite defender in MCW with them. I love MCW but you cant play him without guys like Ross and Anthony.

Funny, a year ago people like you were posting this:

The Lakers, Clippers, Nets, Bucks, and the Magic lol.

And we ended up with Cole

Fact. People were clamoring for him last season and we ended up with him and people are still not happy just because his "stock" fell. I just keep grabbing the popcorn and watch as they debate with themselves if it was a good thing or not.

Yeah, he just needed to have a terrible freshman college season for us to land him. Good thing he dropped his way to 15.

I agree.. put the 2 offensive guys in Ross and Cole with the defense of MCw and we are all set with the wing bench. Add hopefullh and inproved Bamba and Aminu/Clark anf I think itll work

That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that people keep clamoring for these high schoolers and saying "we need to tank for this kid, he's a special talent that can turn this franchise around." When that same exact person falls down the draft and we pick him, they claim to have never wanted him and are mad that we picked him. Cade Cunningham is the new darling that we should tank for, but if he fails at college, everyone will flip again. It's just a bit annoying really.

Hopefully Okeke is ahead of Clark on the depth chart. Would be even better if he was also ahead of Aminu as well.

I'm worried about his progress, because they haven't released any videos of him playing basketball.

Not really.

Cade Cunningham is a 6’7, 220 lb guard that is an extremely well rounded prospect. I’d hardly say Cole Anthony didn’t have short comings heading into the season regardless of his high school numbers. I wasn’t high on Cole due strictly to his size and position in the nba.

The 2020 draft was bad, especially if Cole Anthony was the main highlight from #1-3. I’m happy Orlando picked him as another “redemption project”, but let’s not act like the 2020 draft is the rule and not the exception. There were no clear cut #1 or #2 prospects in this draft. Edwards, Wiseman, and Ball could be complete busts.
