Anthony Black is in no way, shape or form ready to be a starting point guard in the NBA. People need to get that fantasy out of their heads immediately.

Paolo, Franz and Suggs are un touchable, everyone else should be available and we should be active in trades to build a roster that makes sense around those 3.

BUT ... this is WeltHam, more evaluation needed
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

Having Black on the floor when we cant defend is a waste. But then again who else can play in the back court that's worth anything right now.

It’s glaringly obvious this teams still being built and not ready to win. How do you lose to this team? We need to make changes. At this point I’m keeping the Wagners, Paolo and Suggs, maybe Goga, the rest can be moved. We need new guards across the board pretty much.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

It's the truth though. He's an excellent prospect with a lot of upside, but you stick him in the starting lineup and it's gonna be Paolo/Franz just spamming endless isolations and pick and rolls as they drive into the teeth of a paint packed defense and we've seen how ugly that can get.

AB has been terrible, Cole has been terrible, Houstan has become unplayable, Jett isn't good enough to get out the G League, Fultz can't shoot outside of layups, Harris is injury prone (and was playing awful) ...

So our guard rotation is just Suggs
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era
