Yeah, Cole's been hot as offensive spark of the bench in this streak.

imagine if we had more legitimate guards. PG and SG that could shoot 3 solidly and create more spacing. sorry, im just not a long time believer in Fultz. I do like Cole playing more within himself, but see him more as a 6th man type of guy right now.

Everyone knows my opinion on Fultz. I think he’s got another level of growth offensively however, if he doesn’t hit that growth I agree we need shooting.

I like Cole as well when he’s playing within himself. Whenever he tries to do to much he looks terrible, turns the ball over and the other team scores(because we have terrible transition defense)

Cole was baaaad yesterday. Fultz was OK in patches.

But then Brogdon and White were both pretty poor for Boston (Smart was good). Seemed to be that kind of game.

If the Magic bench Fultz for one game, for load-management, here's hoping it is Hampton that starts keeping Anthony as Mr. 6th man.

Still not sure how this front office gets away with not even giving timetables on injured players returning. I look at CBS and all players except Isaac are listed as game-time decisions. That's because we didn't even bother to give the NBA a report. We need to get fined.

Harris has been listed day to day for 24 days already, Carter came back and played starter minutes than sidelined again for almost a month, Suggs is day to day for 3 weeks already, and let's not get started with JI.

Hoping this streak makes the front office realise that we can make play in if we don't tank.

Not in my book. Hampton is a SG, combo at a stretch who can take it up the floor in transition. But he offers nothing in the halfcourt.

Cole is still not where he needs to be IQ wise in the halfcourt and his defence is never seemingly going to be decent. But he's still the closest thing to a backup PG the Magic has.

Holding the players out so long causes other injuries like hamstrings when they come back.

I mean for one game: that is the @Hawks. Suggs will be back soon then making this a Moo's point.

I still can't believe some of you dont see how important Fultz is... Not comparing him to Jkidd, but he has a similar traits. Not a great shooter early in his career, but got his teammates involved and defenses still had to stop him from getting in the paint.

Not sure if anyone's seen this but there's a good interview with Markelle Fultz on the Orlando Magic Pod squad. Great interview overall with a special focus on the 23-minute mark where he talks about his mindset going down the floor with scoring and getting others involved.
