Skal Labissiere has been added.
Djordjie Jovanovic and Marcus Bingham Jr. are no longer listed.
So Orlando has 19 instead of 20 players for now.

It's nice that Penda will have another French speaking player on the team.

Looks a lot like my prediction :lol:

I mean I think center was the only spot up for debate and once they lost Bingham then Kelley was for sure going to be the guy. That is a fun summer league lineup.

Happy that it looks like Jase will play, now hopefully he can have some decent games. Going to be interesting to see how he looks handling the ball and if he can show some playmaking. I mean Devin Carter and Jamal Shead are ROUGH opening matchups for him.

TDS doesnt look like on PEDs... guess that means he wants to be the backup SF

TDS needs to get stronger, you could tell he was getting muscled around out there... Got to tighten up his handle as well.... He should be a good bench contributor

Kelley could be a super useful 2-way pick up. He could provide very valuable 3rd-stringer roles until M-Wagner gets healthy.
I hope he does well, as the Magic really, really needs this sort of team addition to Thompson's role.

i think we could find better than Kelley. his best year as a senior in college, he was 11 ppg 6 rpg. he is 27 and has played 10 games in 2 years in the NBA. I would go find the hungriest G league center and bring him in.

I'm happy too, Jase and Noah have dependable players in Thompson and Da Silva around them, that should help.

I don't expect Jase to play this year but I do expect him to punk on the SL teams as part of his journey.

naaah. I wanted him to pick a lane.

Either commit fully to be a SF or a PF. If SF, work on handles and speed. If PF, then get stronger. I think he chose SF.

Rebounding yes.

Defense? We know he isnt a shotblocker and I always thought he was "heavy" meaning he doesn't have switchability.

Thing is.. our 3rd C can basically be our starter if ever there are injuries. So I kinda want someone that can contribute better than just rebounds

The Magic play basketball tonight

Scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip, but it's very possible it ends up being later than that if the game before it goes long.

AdamTheGreek · Post #200 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Thu Jul 10, 2025 2:21 pm

Game is on NBA TV and also supposedly FanDuel Sports Network Florida, but I’ve checked the app and there’s not a hint of it showing a game tonight yet.
