Magic vs. Magic. Who ya got? 

Post#1 » by Passout » Tue Nov 15, 2022 3:42 am

We could field a competitive NBA team with our injured list. Top 6 active Magic players vs. Magic injured players. Let's assume all healthy in a best of 7 series. Which team wins?

Jalen v Kelle -----------I've got Kelle. You can't count on Jalen putting in a solid 7-game stretch right now.
Franz v Harris ----------Franz (duh), but he's going have to have keep an eye on Harris in the corners when he cheats to help.
Chuma v Paulo ----------Chuma will give a solid effort, but ultimately Paulo bullies his way to the hole at will.
Bol v Isaac -----------This one's interesting on many levels to me. I've got Isaac if it's the last version we saw.
Wendell v Mo Wagner---Mo will battle and keep Dell pulled away from the basket due to his range, but gimmie Wendell all day

6th man: T-Ross v Cole -------Tough call for me. It's the role both were born to play, but I think I talked my self in to Cole.

Some fun individual match ups, but I think the all-injured team plays their way in to shape on their journey to victory.

With WCJ on the injured list now the injured starting 5 probably destroys the healthy starting 5.

Injured vs Healthy

Fultz > Suggs
Wagner > Harris and Anthony
Paolo > Okeke
Bol > JI (haven't seen him in years to know)
WCJ > Bamba

The injured team would win that game pretty easily, imo. The best player on the team is on that list, the best defender, the best playmaker, and the best shooter. Add on that Cole is starting quality as a 6th man, and you've got a seriously good team. Franz would have to do a lot of carrying in that scenario.
