Orlando Magic Vegas Summer League Games Thread Discussion (vs. Boston)

Post #2 » by **SOUL** » Sun Jul 2, 2023 7:43 am

Games don't start until Friday but thought I'd have a thread up for discussion regardless if its other teams. California Classic/SLC summer leagues start on Monday so there's action soon.

Anyone know if they plan to broadcast the games on League Pass for the international contingent?

We need 2 more 2 way players. Maybe a big and a wing?

The stage is set for Kai Sotto to get a 2-way contract. He just needs to perform well.

Hopefully we get a good showing of our rookies before the non drafted guards decide to ball hog and shoot out for a contracts.

Yeah... we need another one to fill in that big lumbering dude for our GL team. That was Teske last year right?

The Magic might grow tired of being spammed with Sotto stuff. If you look at the recent tweets about the Magic, half of them are about Sotto.

I'm interested to see him play, he's young enough and he does seem to have talent. In the past he just seemed raw, I wonder if his time in Australia and japan has done him any good? We will see

Don't worry, the first play where Duren dunks on his face those tweets will stop.

Seriously though, his tall lanky frame... is there like "real" muscles to even try to bang with the real NBA backup C?

Kevon Harris played summer league with another team before the Magic snagged him. They'll be evaluating all the unsigned bigs in Vegas for one of our 2-way spots.

How is Mr. 'stash not everyone's favourite undrafted player?

He would be THE fan favourite in Orlando:

Suggs and Kispert should each pay this man at least $200K for beign overdrafted because of him.

Just like Jabari Smith can edit his breakdown on nbadraftnet and write " defense- credit to Kessler, i'm average" :lol:

I'm not sure where to post this thought.

But what are the odds of Fultz entering this season deciding he wants to jack up 3pts while maintaining his 3pt average?

Is there a planet, where if Black dominates summer league that Fultz gets moved to SG and Black starts at PG? Yeah Harris is in limbo when this happens but maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

Yes. Possible. I always keep in the back of my mind that our assistant GM said the FO views Markelle as a combo-guard. This was years ago, and things may have changed after a few yrs in the program, but if still true today, there is a possibility that they view AB playing PG with Fultz as the SG. Given that Fultz said "F-it" and started jacking 3s the last few games, we'll see what translate.

I think today we're going to get some practice clips.

Wemby on ESPN 2 tonight at 8.

I'm really interested to see much taller he looks out there than Summer league players.
