I’m always debating myself on my rotation. Here is where I’m at.

Suggs / Black / Corey
KCP / Cole / Harris
Franz / Jett / Caleb
Paolo / TDS / Moe
WCJ / JI / Goga

Harris and Goga only play if there is an injury in the starting lineup. The goal is to keep second unit together.

Moe is a change of pace sub when needed.

Magic didn't pay Goga/Harris/Moe almost $30M to keep them as third stringers.

Goga making Valanciunas / Mike Conley/ Cp3 type of money to ride nothing but deep bench would be bad investment

Goga ain’t playing unless WCJ is injured. Harris doesn’t get paid much. Only 2.2 million more than Jett. I see Da Silva playing.

Goga is the 3rd string center.

Moe will play for sure.

We are paying JI 25 million to come off the bench at 22 minutes per game.

Killian is actually very good defender and has one of bettter assist/turnover rates in nba.
He is probably modern day homless/s***y Rondo/Ricky Rubio.

Can't shoot, can't score, but can pass. Not so usless if your team has solid offensive options around him, also he is 22 years old and was stuck in hell named Detroit Pistons. Maybe he is better than we saw. Who knows...

One of my favorite subjects, too. With Ingles and Fultz gone and no external replacement for their playmaking the burden shifts to Cole and AB. I think that is a solid argument for AB to be in the rotation.

Has Caleb shown something that is far and above what Jett could potentially do? Caleb has really only been a corner threat.
I'm all for the battle during training camp.

I get it, could be the decision. Personally, I'd like to see Jett get some burn as he should have a higher upside.

Maybe pairing him with Cam Thomas who doesn't pass, doesn't defend, but can score like lightning will be the perfect yin/yang backcourt. :lol:

Killian doesn't have micro fractures in the same knee that he tore his ACL, so I can see why

Fultz is like a boxer/mma fighter that gets KO’d and is the never the same.. gun shy and hesitant. Just a shell of himself now

Does Fultz currently have micro-fractures in his knee? Was this something that was reported?
