But watching Markelle Fultz glide over the court with the ball in his hands is legitimately one of the most joyous things to watch in basketball. It's such a shame he forgot to shoot and never recovered or else he would have been an awesome player. Still happy and impressed that he found a way back as a contributor after he had peak yips.
The magic have so many interesting players to watch. Rooting for suggs too with an uneven start to his career.
Yeah, Suggs is fun to watch as well. Just full of intensity. I'm glad he's so far accepting this role considering he was quite cocky coming out of college. If he continues to play this way while hitting enough shots (and staying healthy of course), he'll be a winning player for a while.
I really like the Magic, too, but the offense is so obviously flawed. Their starting line-up has basically zero strong shooters, only one capable shooter, three very limited shooters and one non-shooter basically. That's just not going to cut it in today's NBA. Their key bench pieces are a bit better but still nothing special (Harris is good, Cole has to be respected but needs space to get his shot off, and then you have two very limited shooters and whatever current Ingles ends up being).
But it's fun to watch them play tough on defense, the size they have, and the positive playmakers all around. It's just that for the playmaking to really be on display you'll eventually have to add more shooting to the team. As it is, it's very difficult for me to trust their set-up to succeed despite the obvious talent they have.
