This was one of the best games of Carter's career, but people in these threads are usually obsessed with points scored...

Clearly it's Harris for the vest. He was perfect shooting. He has a minutes-played divided by plus/minus of 4 :o

No one else came close to this efficiency stat lines!

....

Anyhow, this for me is a clear:
Banchero - v and F-Wagner - c.
Made FTs were key to the win, as was FG%.

For mittens, I like Caldwell-Pope over Carter. Both have an excellent case as Mr 3rd-best. But Caldwell-Pope actually shooting is key for the Magic to make a playin/off push. Carter's Stocks as 9 is nice though!
(( Banchero and F-Wagner both has a rebound+assist line better than Carter's; by the way)

Lollipops for Carter and Joseph.

As I think the bench really played quite poorly overall, so collectively, no lollis for anyone on the second team, even with some decent highlights here and there.

KCP played 15 mins. Hard to give an award over Franz who put it all out there.

Kinda a weird way to frame it when the name of the game is to score more points than the opponent :lol:

In any event, I gave my vote to WCJ. I didn’t vote for Paolo just because he missed some really easy reads and instead took a few garbage shots.

Dell Paolo KCP.

In all honesty. The only way we have a chance in the playoffs is if Wendell has performances as impactful as this consistently. Followed by KCP. Otherwise, we simply lose to being outscored.
