If Suggs is THAT incapable of playing hybrid PG wtf was the hype about? He's supposed to be the safe hands.

I think the problem is Mosley. He's done everything he knows how to do and he's out of ideas. It's time to say bye bye to him like the Warriors did Mark Jackson. The Magic have been clueless for years offensively and they have a player who's averaging 30ppg in the playoffs to base the offense on.
Mosely isn't trying to turn Bane into a pg. Suggs is fine at PG. He is still under minutes restrictions, but he's averaging 11 ppg in 19mpg while shooting 55/45/91.

Magic leadership should be quietly reaching out to Jenkins as this situation plays out in Orlando


I think there are more good coaches sitting on the sideline than there normally is during the season. I have a feeling my Pels are gonna finally pull the trigger on firing Green when all these great options are gone.

What Taylor and his staff did in terms of developing picks and also winning with a next man up mentality is the kind of stuff I love.

Mosely has pretty much replicated what Jenkins did.

Minus the fact he's only averaging 4 APG, not very PG like.

Suggs isn't a traditional PG but is 4 APG really that bad for a guy playing 19mpg and often handing the ball over to Paolo, Franz, or Bane once he crosses half-court because that's what the offense dictates?

I'm of the opinion that Jase is going to be really good but he's just 19. It's going to take some time for him to feel comfortable out there.

Sure, but give him some run. I haven’t check all of their games but the ones I did, he didn’t play or barely played. He’s got a mature game and doesn’t really get sped up. I think he’ll be fine now. I’m not saying to make him a stater or anything like that.

See, Bane just needed that RealGM jinx thread before he actually performs for the Magic.

This idea that Paolo is some kind of ball hog or black hole is what I find ridiculous. Dude is pretty much asked to play point forward. If you think he is a ball hog I think you don’t watch magic games.


When did I say he was a ball hog?


It’s in regard to first post in this conversation thread

Yea, having 1 season above .500 in 4 years(47 wins) in the East, vs 4 above .500 seasons in 6, including a 56 and 51 win season in the West is basically the same thing I guess.

Hmmmmm interesting the offense finally works when Banchero goes down in the game early. Almost as if there is a fit issue with their core... Who'd a thunk it?

a core starting lineup with a +45 in 101 min played has a fit issue?

He's been bad period and the Magic overpaid for him.

And in general, he's an overrated player in general.

I def agree with that. Grizz rookie showed his spot could be filled.

I look at him more of a great sixth man off the bench type that somehow got elevated to something else. I mean the goal is to get paid right lol

Where are you getting your stats lol they're a +18.2

Furthermore the starters don't play 48 minutes together, per game.

The Magic are .500 and well below preseason expectations. Banchero going down is a blessing in disguise.
