I'm going to go Franz over Paolo because his daggers came when the game was more undecided.

Paolo 2nd. Bamba 3rd.

1. Franz, 2. Paolo, 3. Bamba.

Cole was solid too.

V - Banchero
C - Franz
M - Bamba

I was impressed with the mix of Banchero's offense and defense more than Franz, but both were important. And Bamba stepped TF up! Shoutout to Cole too.

Tough call. Franz felt like the MVP because he commanded so much attention from the other team. (Never gets old typing that out.)

This is one of those nights where the vest is irrelevant -- I'm impressed by the mental strength of this team to withstand the revenge game effect. The coaching staff deserves a mention too for finding ways to get Franz the ball in the last 48 hours.

I went with Paolo because he's really stepped up on rebounding.

But it cant be stated enough, the amount of attention Franz drew tonight.

Franz
Paolo
Cole

Bamba deserves something, but at the same time knowing this is possible and most nights he moves like a zombie out there is so frustrating that he gets nothing from me.

Crazy how Mo's shooting has steadily improved every season. He's probably a top 5 backup and I doubt they cut him loose next season .

I love that we are arguing about who was most awesome in a win!

I gave it to Mo, because he could have checked out of returning to the game after that collision he had. But he didn't.
He was also challenging players big time at the rim.

I'm expecting 20 points every night now from Franz and Paolo.

Vest- Franz Swag
Cummerbund- Bamba
Mittens- Paolo

I've been a giant hater of Bamba but he got us going in the first half when we were having trouble scoring and played excellent defense, rebounded well, etc. Showed fantastic toughness he lacks most nights.

Franzhise's confidence is exploding.

It's probably Franz but I gave it to Bamba. He played with alot of fire and energy and was a significant difference maker out there. I wish he could do that consistently

Vest - Bamba
Cummerbund - Anthony
Mittens - Wagner

KInd of crazy that a 20-year-old rookie just put up 20-12-5-1-1 and doesn't even finish top 3, but Bamba and Cole both played their best games of season IMO.

Gave the vest to Bamba the moment he slapped away Gary Trent's attempt to help him up.

Last Guardian · Post #18 » by **Last Guardian** » Mon Dec 12, 2022 3:48 pm

I'm going with Bamba. It was his best, most complete game of the season...but mainly it is because he was the reason the Magic gained a double digit lead in the second quarter and they never gave up the lead after that.

Mo gets number 2 on my list cuz he probably played the best game of the year.... shoot... maybe career.... next to that philly game. lol

So out of character for Bamba but it was phenomenal. We so desperately need swag.
