What's Banchero even doing this game ... same crap I guess, every team just lets their best player do whatever

Moment Banchero stopped shooting non-motion ISO's, the Magic went on a run

Hmmm seems familiar

I won't formally take issue with a good game in a win but didn't Julius start like 9-12 and finish 9-22 or something?

Julius has especially good scoring skill for a guy his size and who can be a later option on offense, rather than a primary guy, like sort of what he is now on a deep team. Very rare that a guy 4th or whatever can make the tough shots he can

The question is, is he worth it. Because he doesn't play defense, his shot comes and goes, he turns it over (add in that he can't really jump at the hoop) ... I also would disagree about his passing and his rebounding, neither of which do I think is genuinely good

I say clearly no, not worth it. And I'm going to roll with that because I don't think he can change fundamentally

He's def doing much better, his best ever playoffs and that's a big step, but it's a walk year

It's also false and this is key to just write it off as one bad series against Atlanta

Did y'all watch last year's playoffs? Hart played PF instead of him and the team played so much better because of it. We lost to Indy because of injuries, and so you can look at it as proof that we needed Randle

iHart and Brunson faded ... Hart got hurt too ... but Hart was a much more effective PF for us in last year's playoffs than Randle ever was in any playoff series

Also it was lame that he didn't try to come back

Nah I am definitely taking Banchero by far. He’s like a mix of Carmelo, Tatum, Randle, Bron in one lol

The audacity to include him with those names

I can include him with anyone I want now since he’s redeemed himself

I don't think Banchero looks that good right now. Good. Needs lots of work.

6-19

Randlero

WCJ has kind of been a stud defensively. Him being able to guard on the perimeter is a huge bonus for the Magic defensively. He would be an interesting fit next to KAT

He’s not having a good shooting game, and idk why Franz isn’t taking more shots. But the only way they win this is if those guys take and hit a **** ton of shots lol

The way refs hate to call blatant fouls on LeBron, I am surprised they didn't find a way to call it an offensive on Ant or say they saw a pinkie from another guy and give it to them.

It's a complete crime against basketball how LeBron gets away with being as physical as he is on both ends and has 0 fouls game after game. Then the airheads want to praise him for "look how great he is, he does it without fouling!" Joke.

Only if you think Tatum is as good as Kobe

I’d take Cade. I like PB but I don’t see some incredible talent tbh
