Hey all - wanted to ask you guys thoughts on Goga rest of season? Been playing really well stats-wise and starting (outside of a few game stretch). Will WCJ take back the start at some point?

Also realize Isaac's been out. Will he cut into Goga minutes?

Asking for fantasy! Some insights from actual Magic fans would be great.

If you asks us posters, we would be finr with Goga being the starter all the way the playoffs(lol)

We know wcj average 30 or so DNP-injuries every season so he is better off in the bench unti he is 100%

JI? He is the backup PF unless in extreme situations where we throw him at C

With Feanz out, Hoping we give Jett minutes instead of Queen.

I'm also dying to see more of Jett...but I've got to say that the more I see of Queen, the more I like. Like Kevon, his intensity on both ends makes me like having him around (at least on the very end of the bench).

Not sure whether I shouldn’t be surprised, concerned, or mad about Jett as a pick or how they are managing him.

There is a clear path to minutes and we are seeing Queen and Houstan getting a better shot at them as second round picks and g-league guys over our lotto pick.

This is the problem with expecting wins every night instead of developing assets. There just isn’t patience for Jett to get minutes even when there are substantial injuries. They are attempting to do both ineffectively.

This is a firm but fair moment. Maybe we just want Jett to win the G-League for the Osceola Magic?

Color me puzzled that we wouldn't sacrifice defense over not potentially having enough players to field an NBA team and lose by forfeit.

It's almost like people were saying this 5-6 months ago when it was clear they were punting on another offseason...

It's almost like what we have come to expect... half ass everything until the absolute last possible moment regardless of how it affects anything in the meantime.

No. Patience. Unless we’re packaging stuff for a star.

That’s what is disappointing, with all the injuries, I’m sure they could have put him in the active roster.

The league has so many dynamic duos and could Franz and Paolo rank Top 10 among them?

The point I am trying to make is we need to level up and get more pieces.

The talent level we have is going to be competitive but not contending

Limited assets unfortunately.

Don’t think we are contending unless they strike at rich in free agency. Orlando doesn’t have the assets at the moment.

The Kings shot better from 3 tonight than they did from the FT line. Bet that does not happen often.
