Mo Bamba is everybody’s buddy haha.

Hopefully we end our tradition of sitting out our rookie for most or all of their first year !

No lie, Cole played for a realy bad team and when you are the only best player of that team, that means the main focus will be on you. Not only due to his knee injury, but also his efficiency went down due to lack of good players in his team. This dude has that alpha mentality that I think we are missing in this team. He and Fultz will make it work and I think Fournier will be traded to a team that wants cap space after his one year contract is up. Cole is a shooter and can average triple double as well. Fultz and Cole will be the backcourt.

A 6'3 off guard? I think his future is PG

I’m not saying Cole isn’t Greg’s son....but he might wanna take a DNA test just to make sure.

Maybe cause I’ve turned off the NBA this past year but I’m actually happy with this pick. Hopefully he gets some minutes. Still would like to trade Fournier or Gordon

He can guard the PG and Fultz the SG, but Fultz can start with the ball on offense.

He will be running PG and SG along with Fultz Running both SG and PG. Its the same situation as in Portland with Damian and CJ. You see Cole's team wasn't good at all and this man had to do it all. Now he is in a situation that he doesn't have to do it all because He can rely to pass to Vuc or Ross for the shots when he wants to pass. The pick and roll game with Vuc will be really good.

Do you think Fultz is unable to defend shooting guards ?

Really excited to see Fultz & Cole Anthony together, but who were the last PG tandem that actually worked together really well without blowing up within a year or two?

Cole world, he is a hooper hooper, with all of our athletic long theoretical scorers it was time to get a flat out bucket getter !

We needed a guy who has a scorers mentality that won’t crap his pants when the playoffs come around, I see Cole as that.

Really confident for better or for worst, here’s hoping for best !

Anybody can be a bucket getter chucking shots with tunnel vision. .380 FG% 4.0 apg 3.5 TOpg :banghead:

Poor Fultz. So do we trade him now? Fultz can't play off guard.

MasterGMer · Post #34 » by **MasterGMer** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 3:19 am

We still need a 2 guard and 3 wing, when Ennis opted out. I hope Magic makes a move to land one thru trade

The Real Dalic · Post #35 » by **The Real Dalic** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 3:21 am

Hoping this means no more DJ as well. Even if Anthony is what some of you guys think, which is a bum, at least it should mean no more DJ and the ball being in Fultz hands all the time.

Those numbers are not great in a vacuum but I think it’s important to look at those in context, but I guess we will see

Why would he have to play off ball when cool
Is a good catch and shoot option ?

If Cliff can get him under control and mold him into Kemba Walker 2.0 as some scouting profiles have labeled him ...

A great prize may have fallen into our lap as teams overthought the draft.

He was an elite prospect for a reason. We can’t ignore the struggles this past year. He and the coaching staff must address those but if they can ... who knows?

No, we’ll just have the same player off the bench.

game on the line. Who you’d want to take a perimeter jumper? Cole or fultz?

I think fultz will be good off the bench if he cant get the jumper going
