Orlando Magic Vegas Summer League Games Thread Discussion (vs. Boston)

nice picture

Wow...I'm not exactly Team Fultz, but that's cold

just trying to piss off some Fultz fans

[tiderulz]

So now everyone loves George… lol

So far he looked better than in college, and way better than i thought he will.

Still, he goes on main roster and where execlly they will play him?

They have Clarkson;Sexton providing basically identicall stuff he does, being that combo scoring guards. Dunn looked solid last year as well.

Maybe they will trade one of them , but i still need to see him in smaller role doing stuff, not being 25 FGA a night player and see how he adjusts to much smaller role than he has in SL.


Maybe he will be this year's Donovan Mitchell, or just SL wonder , time will tell.

only thing i can think of, the FO tried to get cute and draft a bigger player thinking they could play SG/Sf instead of just drafting a better player.

I would just draft Dick or Hawkins, if anything those players are very comfortable playing off ball at SG.

[basketballRob]

Dick or Hawkins don't look any better than Jett.

To be fair to all 3 of these players, none of them are defensive stars and none of them are iso guys so each of them is best when surrounded by talent who allows them to burn you when you blink.

Point being, summer league rosters of scrubs isn’t the place to see them.

George on the other hand will shine in hero ball summer league.

So I’ll hold my final judgement until we get to meaningful games with the real team.

sorry, i mean SG/SF. Jett if is legit 6'8 is big enough to play some SF. Keyonte. Hawkins definitely too small and Dick I wouldnt want at SF. but again, that is them trying to get cute instead of just drafting the BPA for SG

[SOUL]

If you wanted Keyonte, you had to had wanted him at 6, not 11. After AB there was no way in hell we were taking another 6'4 guard on the roster that needs the ball in his hands a lot that had 37/33 numbers in college. He's absolutely lighting it up at the moment, just saying that outside of maybe 2 people, most people thought we needed a three point specialist instead of him.

Plus he's best with the ball in his hands as a scorer and not a playmaker......sounds familiar.... Undersized combo guard.... Not quite a PG or a SG? I can see why that can be a bit redundant

LOL My apologies in advance that me hyping him up and crowing about it led to some believers.

This is summer league, and probably the only time he will drop those numbers. I mean, unless he massively outplays Clarkson and Sexton, he won't shine that much. Although that is true for Jett as well.

It would have been the ultimate WeltHam move... draft the same player and then trade away the guy due for an extension. You can keep the rebuild going forever with the exact same roster!!

[RookieStar]

BTW, any news if wer sitting out the guys on our regular roster? So we can finally see kai play? Lol

[fendilim]

Honestly is Kai Sotto worse than the crap we're putting out there? I dont need to see another second of DJ Wilson.

Hahaha i think he can do better than Wilson. Its such a low bar.

Watch on YouTube

If you ask me, I think his best chance to make the roster is if he plays with Anthony Black. And not other players who are also trying out for a contract. Summer league is such a bad setting for a big, imo.

Summer league is full of hot takes.

There’s no more smoke on Cason Wallace’ succeeding performance after his hot debut haha

Guys did you see nick Smith tonight? Man we should've drafted him 6th.... He's the new Donovan Mitchell

If only we drafted Javon Freeman-Liberty .. I see MJ and now I'm pissed!!

[Rainwater]

I might be crazy for saying this but I feel like this draft may go down as one of the best in the league's history. I just see so much talent. It's funny, I was so skeptical about this draft.

Miller, Victor and Scoot are elite prospects, maybe Amen as well ( and damn i like Miller's game).
But this SL competition seems to be awful.

Not only it's made out of 80% of non nba players, it's made out of 80% of non nba talents who are also inexperienced and very young. I joked about Harris being oldest SL player but when i saw rosters he might actually be one of few players older than 23. And maybe actually oldest

I liked Nick Smith as a lottery guy, frankly.

But Summer League is not where you'll see whether the Smith's, George's and Whitmore's can work on the NBA. In SL, they'll be allowed go get theirs, they won't have to function in a strict team setting, defence, preparation and durability are not factors in question... its just predominantly a green light situation where these type of players will always take full advantage. It's the other stuff that will determine if theyre going to be any good.

Some teams are playing like 4-5 players that are in their NBA rotation. Detroit played Duren, Wiseman, Ivey, and Thompson. All will probably be in the top 7 or 8 of their rotation. Harris isn't even a 15th man. He's on a two-way contract.

Indiana played 4 of their top 7 players also. Nembhard will be 24 this season.
