Our killer lineup and one that I really hope to see coach Mo use often is:

Markelle
Harris
Franz
Paolo
Isaac

Wendell is great but I see this lineup being able to play with pace better. I truly believe Paolo will quickly show the league that he is a future star and these guys will fit the best around him.

Markelle is our best point guard and is a better decision maker than Cole or Suggs. Suggs really showed that he has alot of room to grow on offense imo and was very mistake prone. Cole can score but hasn't notched a season yet with league average shooting efficiency. It really socks to see Harris go down like he has, does anyone know what his timetable is? He is our most reliable shooter and is a pretty important piece.

I believe the team can make the playoffs next year we just gotta believe in Paolo, Isaac, Wendell and Franz and not allow Cole and Suggs to chuck away lol.

I dream of T. Ross having a Flamethrower season again. He can fill in for Harris easily that way. I also think that is the Magic's best lineup too. Suggs (Marcus Smart-lite) and Wendell (Al Horford-lite) will be getting starter minutes off the bench still, and we know it'll probably be Isaac slowly getting starter minutes off the bench first (and maybe even all season).

With Harris injured, we fans basically need to accept this rotion on opening night:

Fultz/Anthony/Cannady
Suggs/Ross/Hampton
F-Wagner/Okeke
Banchero/Isaac/Bol
Carter/Bamba/M-Wagner

After about 5 games of that, or an injury, only then might we see some adjustments.

The real changes come around the All star break when, depending on how the record is and how individual players fit their respective role, a trade happens.

For example, if the about wins 50% of their games, there might be no moves. If the team is horrible and Suggs or Fultz is struggling, the team would trade guards and assists for a new starting SG.

Frankly for me, the movement Harris got injured, the depth chart became crystal clear.

Ross should log most of his minutes with Anthony and Okeke in the back court. I think that fits Ross' game very well.

I want to see a lineup of Bol Bol, Mo Wagner, Jonathan Isaac, Mo Bamba, and Paolo Banchero just for fun!

Carter is too skilled to not be in our closing lineup. More and more teams are using dribble hand offs, we want to move forward not backwards. Dribble handoffs, guards screening for forwards and centers. Fultz doesnt give us anything killer. If Isaac is healthy
Suggs/Wagner/Isaac/Banchero/Carter gives us size, shooting, penetration. We could defend similar to Cavaliers last season who played with Markkanen at small forward but even bigger.

This sort of line-up is all about offense for Orlando. If Isaac can guard the SG, then yeh, in spot minutes, Orlando should try this sort of rotation out. Having F-Wager as the offensive SG and Isaac as the offensive SF, those two can jump shoot over any defender all day long.

For me its more about defense. Watch from 2.30.
