I like Champagnie. Both defensively and offensively. He should be playing more. Great basketball IQ and effort all around.

Yeah I like him too. I certainly prefer to see him playing instead of Middleton.

Or Kispert to be honest. Justin is 2 years younger than Kispert! And provides significantly better D and effort on the boards. His per 36 numbers this season are pretty good. FYI- he is shooting pretty well from 3, even better % than Kispert.

Poole’s questionable basketball IQ on display tonite. When he plays like this is hard to watch.

The refs are helping the tank tonite. Very questionable calls on behalf of the Magic.

Such a forgettable game. A microcosm of this season.

The good news is that the Pels are about to win which will give us a 5 game lead in the tank race.

We need a forward with size too; still hoping for Cooper Flagg after this season of tanking.
