Vest - Paolo Banchero
The star anchoring it together. He, Fultz, and Mo kept the Magic close enough until the whole team saw they could steal the game in the 4th.
Cummerbund - Jonathan Isaac
Second team leading +17 +/- tonight. When the Suns score less than 20 points in the 4th quarter, Isaac did something. We would have needed like 36 minutes of Jarrett Allen on this team to equal the defense of 20 minutes of Isaac. Also, I regularly see Isaac lose credit on blocks in multiple games this season. How much of that is true or not is still a testament to the space Isaac eats up and contests on defense.
Mittens - Mo Wagner
Team leading +20 +/- tonight. I'm a bigger fan of Mo getting his 20 minutes than not. Between him and Cole, the bench has offensive firepower and hustle.
Shout out to Markelle Fultz! Relentless driving, superb passing, great defense.

I’m giving the Vest to Isaac. I know the individual stats don’t jump off the page but he kept KD in check and and had some incredible defensive stands along with a big clutch 3.
Isaac
MWagner
Paolo — we can give it to him every single night, let’s show some love to the help!

Paolo was good, but we won this game because of defense.

Had a hard time picking between Paolo and JI. Paolo played a great, efficient offensive game. JI changed the game with his defense. With his minutes ramping up and him being a difference maker, I'm giving it to JI.

Mo Wagner - brought the energy to the game... we would have not won without the injection
JI - good gosh I love this guy. Difference maker on the defensive end and came up with strong plays on the offensive end. The double block on two separate people.... including the guy that was lighting us upwas a thing of beauty
Second half Paolo - finally came to play and stopped relying on threes as much. If you have 3" and 35 lb on someone....USE IT
Fultz - gotta mention my boy. Both ends of the court.... kept us afloat and kept the balance and ball pressure going!
Great game!!! Go magic!!!!

It's not common that a player in single digits gets the vest, but gotta go JI here, he was that impactful.

Definitely JI for me.
Huge stops down the stretch plus season high in minutes played. Definitely progressing.

Voted for Paolo. Defense was why we won the game, but keeping this team competitive offensive-wise is not an easy task. Cummerbund goes to Isaac and mittens for Fultz. Moe had a good game, but Fultz was not complete dumpster fire as he was since coming back. He still misses any kind of offensive game outside of 10 feet from basket, but hustle was there.

This is an easier vote than some consider.
We can all agree this game was won in the 4th. M-Wagner in the 4th was +15 in plus/minus, on 9 points, 7 rebounds, an assist and a steal. That's the vest vote for me.
Banchero is the cummerbund with an Allstar stat line.
F-Wagner for the vest for holding Beal in check.
Lollypops to Fultz and Isaac. Yes Isaac had a good defensive game, but those 5 steals by Fultz also stand out.
p.s. why is Okeke still in the NBA?

And this is why I can’t stand Isaac at this point.
You have arguably one of the best defensive players in the league on the bench most nights or playing at the very most 18 minutes. You win this game because he’s in for a season high 23 minutes.
Orlando’s record looks vastly different if this guy wasn’t fragile.
Also not to be overlooked: Beal 4-13fgs , 0-5 3pt
