I gotta go with Suggs on this one. His big shooting night was a difference maker. He had some real momentum turning moments too with defense and shooting. Suggs and Franz started the offense off and kept it afloat all game.
Franz for the cummerbund for getting the offense going and keeping it going down the stretch.
Fultz for the mittens. His work off the bench has been leading small runs to take leads. It’s not as impactful as Paolo, but he deserves a nod.

Felt like the biggest plays of the night was Paolo's pull up 3 and Wendells block on Mitchell leading to Paolos and 1.
Voted Paolo.
Gotta say Ive been a critic of Wendell and he doesnt have great numbers but hes been great this series. Need him to bring the physicality on Sunday. He can body Mobley.

However, something has to be said about Cole, Fultz, Carter and Mose. They really don't win without them

Man, I could really go either way between Paolo, Franz and Suggs here. I'll mull it over until tomorrow

This really could go to any of the core three. They were all great on both of sides of the court. I want to give the vest to Suggs for knocking down 6 threes. That's more than the rest of the team combined.

Man I’ll have to sleep in this one
It does need to be said that Wendell held Mobley to 3 pts. Not enough to get him the vest, but that’s significant to consider.

This is the first game in a long time where you just say team win. We don't win without pretty much everyone.

Top three in any order is my vote!
Going with F-Wagner for the vest for his 1st half dominance.
Suggs for the cummerbund given that without his threeball, the Magic get drubbed
Banchero for mittens then ????? Just shows how great the top-3 were!
Lollipops for Carter, Anthony, and Fultz. All three STEPPED UP when it mattered. Isaac can have one also, given his defense and 9 rebounds. His last offensive rebound iced-the game, in particular.

I voted Paolo because of the big buckets at the end of the game.

I recorded the game on my box so I can make my dad watch it. He was a huge Magic fan and after Shaq left he got mad and hasn't watched since, outside of the one Darrell Armstrong Heart and Hustle season. I told him Suggs is the Energizer Bunny reincarnated so he said he would give it a shot. Hell of a game for him to watch.
That Suggs play where he saved it twice and then drills the Curry Logo three I guess gets my vote.

Tough choice, but going with Suggs. He was fighting through screens, drawing offensive fouls. got into it with Niang, and also got the crowd into it at the end. His intensity is unmatched. Franz was solid throughout. Paolo was clutch down the end, but still had too many annoying turnovers.

Vest - Paolo Banchero
The vest goes to Paolo for being an unstoppable force with 17 points in the 2nd half. This included clutch buckets left and right. We saw this clutch gene in the regular season's closest games. What's crazy is he already makes small improvements game over game while going for 20 or 30+.
Cummerbund - Franz Wagner
An unbelievable 18 point performance in the 1st half alone. His defense was superb like it's been many times this year. There's a smoothness to his attack, and it would be no surprise at all if he's the one leading ORL with a 30+ point, Game 7 win.
Mittens - Jalen Suggs
The shot was looking great tonight. And it's not a fluke, in my honest opinion. This is the real Suggs we will see more of this post-season and future seasons. Pair that with an unmatched energy by any other player on both teams, and there's a good argument for Suggs to take the Vest or Cummerbund too.
I actually mentioned this like 2 months ago, but Jalen is surprisingly accurate and in the zone when launching quicker 3's off of flares or basically, running with speed into them. I'd say at least two his six 3's were directly like this. It's Ray Allen-esque. Another big difference tonight was he actually reigned it in a little better in the first half this time, he let Franz get his 18, he let Paolo go 3 AST:1 TO, and Jalen himself did the same 3 AST:1 TO.
Shoutouts to Cole Anthony for getting Mittens consideration, and 'Kelle for a second straight great game in limited minutes.

Man, looking at the numbers I really underestimated how much Paolo carried us in the 4th in scoring. Amending my vote above to give Paolo the Mittens instead of Fultz.

Interesting that Suggs is running away with this. I thought the vote-total would be closer.

I thought so to considering this was more of a team win where everybody played a role
