Yeah, and so can we. We’re just not at that level defensively yet.

We won't ever be. If we become better than them it's because our offense got better.

Suggs instincts on defense...

Magic fighting back to regain the lead! How's the fight in this team?! Big shoutout to Wendell for starting the run with back to back 3's.

A big offensive improvement from Suggs is really all we need at SG

I keep saying it but he better be a starter next year. This team NEEDS his defense.

Man Suggs is something else on defense. Mitchell is still cooking but you can tell Suggs is just different. The space is different with Suggs on him. I haven't seen compete level from the Magic like this in years...they want this bad.

TBD on free agency and trades too, but if they opt for a run it back scenario, this should be the group.

So you want to get a SG to take shots from Paolo and Franz and mins from Suggs?

Sent from my SM-G9750 using RealGM mobile app

It's not to take shoots from them. They clearly need an upgrade at the 2 spot. Someone that can generate more offense from that spot. I honestly don't knoe who is available to even begin discussions about.

I still would have Suggs coming in off the bench as the back up sg. Keeping the 1-2 punch of cole and Suggs off the bench.

That WCJ three looked like it was in

Is it me or has Paolo got better on the defensive glass second half of the season? That was a strong board

I just don't see us adding anything major via FA. I guess a trade is possible with all of our draft capital and young talent.
