Gave it to Cole for his clutch shooting and 1 TO but I could have easily gone with Franz or WCJ.

Went with Cole World but like thelead said, cases definitely can be made for Franz and WCJ. Great team win by the Magic!

Same, kept hovering over Franz button, but just couldn't not give it to Cole, especially first game back

I went with Franz. Clutch baskets and good defense. Cole was really good too, but think his defense could've been better on Morris.

Now you’re making me second guess my pick

It took everything in me not to complain about Cole’s defense

To be fair though it's our first win in a while and Cole being back played a big part in it

He definitely contributed to the win but his P&R defense was Fournier-esque. He just can’t stay connected to his man. It makes me appreciate Suggs defense so much more.

You can’t go wrong with Cole or Franz in the two lead spots tonight. I picked Cole tonight.

#3 spot is WCJ. Am I missing something or is this guy not getting the love he deserves around here this season? Always solid all around and an improved deep shot.

I was only listening to the game, but it seemed like WCJ really shut Joke down in the 2nd half. Might be worth the vest

It was mostly WCJ playing him tough with a bit of Mo’s length sprinkled in. WCJ definitely has a case for the vest.

Anthony for the vest; he is the best player the Magic has now.
M-Wagner for the cummerbund; his bench play was decisive.
F-Wagner for mittens with his robin-role as a key beta-level starter.

I'm a Cole fan but i have to give this one to Franz for how well he put the team on his back in Cole's absence. For a rookie SF, to take such a burden and do a decent job of it, then to change gear when Cole came into the game, was impressive.

Anthony a very close 2nd but cummerbund. Carter mittens.

Easily Cole.

Shoutout to Bamba for playing very well for two games in a row though.

I went with Cole. But we need to show more love for WCJ and his defense on MVP Jokic.

I went with Franz because he had the game tying bucket, game winning 3, and a key block on Jokic in the 4th Q.

Wagner, Anthony and WCJ have a case but i prefered the way Wagner involves his teammates. His defense was also way better than Anthony who made Monte Morris look like Chris Paul.

I went with WCJ for his efficient offensive game and elite post defense on an MVP level player.

I really think M-Wagner needs a cummerbund or some mittens for this game. He was the bench in the first half. Orlando does not win this game without what he gave.

I just looked at his game log, over the last 6 games, he's had 1 bad outing, otherwise I feel like he's gotten comfortable in his role.
His minutes have steadied out over that time too.
His PER has climbed over 15.

From Oct to Nov. FG% is up, 3pt % is up.
He was almost 50/40/90
48/39/88 for the month of Oct.
