1. Might as well win now, no clear dominant favorite

2. No, I think he’ll be traded at by deadline.

3. Goga been good and we need Moe offense off the bench. WCJ should be starter if he can stay healthy and knockdown 3s but that’s a big if. I see him getting move with Fultz.

4. He’ll keep this up for sure. All-star.

5. If Magic serious about winning this year, then AB can’t start. He’s just nonexistent on offense out there.

6. He’ll shoot at least 35% which is a big improvement. His form looks so good.

7. No way he’ll continue shooting this bad throughout the season.

8. I still have hope Harris can find his shot but we should always try to improve. He is expandable.

9. No, unless we somehow out of the playin running. If he’s not playing while half our team is injured then I don’t see it changing.

10. No, half our rotational guys are always injured.

11. 2nd round if we get home court.

1. I dont see any realistic splash targets. We could go for Tyus Jones/ Monte Morris if they are cheap.
2. Doesnt matter becouse he wont be here next year.
3. Goga unless they trade WCJ
4. He will improve when team around him improves. Right now not a lot of space to work with
5. Not if we can trade for upgrade
6. Not likely, but hope so
7. I think his shot will improve with time, but Paolo remains leading scorer
8. Gary is a playoff proven veteran i dont think out of rotation sophomore makes him expendable.
9. Not much if we dont make trade
10. Propably not.
Bonus: First round exit.

1. I honestly don't even think we are in a development season. Black and Jett started the season out of the rotation after all. We are in this weird phase of player evaluation. Players are auditioning for roles. I think this continues through the season. While maybe a move is made to address injuries, I think major decisions are pushed to the off-season.

2. I think so, I'm expecting a heroes return here soon.

3. I'm going to say Goga as of now due to his contract situation.

4. I'd like to see Paolo finish with a PER above 18

5. I'm guessing no, I think Fultz takes back the role.

6. More likely he's below average but I actually think he pulls it off. He just needs to stay healthy.

7. Franz will find his shot. Paolo has grabbed the first option role by the horns, though. Franz prefers second option duties, anyway.

8. No way. The swingman role is one that I think we need to fill from outside the team. Harris, Houstan, or Jett aren't the answer.

9. No, he's on bust alert.

10. Low probability event, not betting on it.

Bonus: first round exit

1. Id like that they make a splash. I don’t trust they will.

2. Hopefully not. He’s gone either way.

3. They all play minutes. If #1 happens it will be Carter moved.

4. Playoffs will help him improve.

5. Yes if the answer is no to #1. No, if it’s yes to the first question.

6. He can. If he shoots slightly lower it’s still a win.

7. Yes, also yes he can but it will probably be Paolo.

8. Gary was expendable the moment Jett was drafted and Suggs took his starting spot. Caleb has work to do still.

9. No. Because they’ve prioritized winning games now as opposed to development despite their decisions in the offseason.

10. Absolutely not.

Bonus: undetermined based on injuries and potential trades.

1. Are we continuing this development season or has the FO seen enough and we are going to make a splash at the trade deadline?
These two are not mutually exclusive.

2. Will Fultz ever suit up for the Magic again?
Irrelevant, he will not be in Magic jersey come next season.

3. Who will inevitably be left out of out Center rotation? WCJ, Goga, Moe?
Too early to say.

4. How much better can Paolo get this season?
He can still incrementally improve during the season, but he has been tremendous so far.

5. Will AB start the remainder of the season/playoffs?
Yes, but still only in name.

6. Can Suggs continue to shoot the 3 at 38%+
Maybe.

7. Will Franz find his shot the second half of the season and if so can he be our leading scorer?
Yes and irrelevant as long as we win.

8. Has Caleb done enough to make Gary Harris expendable in a trade or to be let go as a FA?
No, but Harris is expendable.

9. Will Jett get any PT for the Magic the 2nd half of the season?
Not significant.

10. Is this team capable of being 100% healthy going into the playoffs? :lol:

No.

Bonus: What is the ceiling as constructed today? 1st round exit? 2nd round? ECF?
1st round as our offense is easily solved by zone defense. We may get hot from perimeter in a game, but not 4 games in a series.

no splash. Maybe a minor move

2. Will Fultz ever suit up for the Magic again?
Depends if he gets on top of his tics before season end or not. If he does, he'll play.
3. Who will inevitably be left out of out Center rotation? WCJ, Goga, Moe?
There are PF minutes that both WCJ and Moe can access. Goga will have fewest minutes ofnthe 3.
4. How much better can Paolo get this season?
We'll find out in the playoffs when the court shrinks and everyone is defending like crazy

5. Will AB start the remainder of the season/playoffs?
Probably.

6. Can Suggs continue to shoot the 3 at 38%+
I think so, if not 38% then league average at least.

7. Will Franz find his shot the second half of the season and if so can he be our leading scorer?
Franz could easily be our leading scorer. But its not what motivates him. He wants to wim games. Ive no worries about him getting his form nailed down.

8. Has Caleb done enough to make Gary Harris expendable in a trade or to be let go as a FA?
Harris is already pretty expendable. Caleb is nothing you couldnt find with a minor pick and a handful of phonecalls. Hardworking kid tho with a good attitude.

9. Will Jett get any PT for the Magic the 2nd half of the season?
No. Nothing meaningful anyway

10. Is this team capable of being 100% healthy going into the playoffs?
Eeeehhhhh, no.

Bonus: What is the ceiling as constructed today? 1st round exit? 2nd round? ECF?

2nd round is very possible. A savvy vet team with shooting will eventually do for us tho.
