He made some really good plays last night... and looked more in control than i've seen him before. aggressive drives that ended with a point at the rim or dishes to players. including a great wrap around pass to goga and another sweet dish as well to goga for the slam. He's getting a chance to show more. I know a lot of people opposed to his play last year... but i think the magic did a great job handling him and his expectations. last season we saw his potential as a defender and as shooter (albeit low volume). This season he is entrenched in the second unit and based on the gameplay was the primary ballhandler.
Paolo.... is looking primed for another big step forward
Franz....... hope this phase is gets better sooner than later. haha
suggs.... doing better as the PG and made at least 2-3 "Did he just do that plays".... that full court football side throw after a made basket.... "WOW" and of course the steals and blocks. Kinda hoping for better splits in playing opportunity allowing suggs to exert more energy on the defensive end and replace him with black to get more rest
WENDELL PLAYED LIKE A BIG MAN. lol Paolo was looking for him in the paint i don't think i remember wendell dunking this many times in a game. missed all of his 3s though... but maximized with the dunks
KCP missed a few threes... but his defense with suggs in the backcourt will be a great asset. and he made some quality fascilitating plays.
Jett came in looking like a dang flame thrower. 3 3's in 3 minutes. The 4th three was a forced one in reaction to his "foul call and challenge failure" lol. but with what i've seen... he could be soon vying for a 2nd string position.
