Official 2025 Orlando Magic Summer League Discussion Thread

Anyone saw Mcneelys game? Wowza.... shooting dribbling passing and high IQ... in a 6'8 package

Maybe he was actually bad in college because of the injury. I don't know, I wasn't doing the injury cope again after Jett I do like his catch and shoot potential. Hornets have some fun rookies.

He passed the eye test, Jett never did IMO

Oh yeah, I had him as a much better prospect than Jett. To me he is a movement shooter that struggles on defense and maybe struggles attacking closeouts and finishing at the rim. That is a decent player depending on the volume and accuracy. I just didn't love that kind of player on our roster. But maybe the ankle injury masked some of his finishing ability and/or defense. I didn't really doubt the shot even with the bad numbers last year. We'll see, still extremely early obviously.

Kon looked really small with NBA sized players. Mcneely may end up better.

It still doesn't help him look bigger.

I really like Da Silva's game, he's going to be a really good role player.

Yang is already maybe the most fun rookie for me to watch from this class.

Next level processing on offense, passing ability that only a few players have. Was also really impressed with the screens he set. Swing skill there is going to be if he can add a set shot to keep defenses really honest.

On defense he got lost at times and is pretty slow, but I was really impressed with the shot blocking ability. He has good timing and is gigantic, it seems like he will be a factor as a rim protector, just needs to not bite on every fake.

Not guaranteed to be a good player or anything, but definitely doesn't look like a reach to me. The tape he put out at the combine should have turned a lot of heads.

He just looked small for some reason. I don't think he can play SF. He's smaller than Evan Fournier.

Evan is lean and 6'7 in shoes... kon is what they call " farm boy" wide bodied 6'6 with shoes... Terms of body-mass, Kon can probably bump Evan all day while Evan run rings around him

Evan would have more obscene gestures.

i got it right since yesterday.

[Bakomagic]

Really disappointed in the decision to sit Jase and Penda after only two games, don’t agree with giving them the Paolo treatment.

Oh well, any unsigned prospects from other teams worth bringing on for our 15th player?

From my understanding is that we only have enough money for a minimum on a player that has less than 4 years of NBA service years.

Our remaining summer league players are hot garbage!

Cole Swider would be a good fit here.

They do not even have that currently. They cannot sign a 15th player right now unless they make a move that saves them money. They are hardcapped at the first apron and Bane's unlikely to be earned incentives count against that. They're currently $1.24M under the apron, which isn't enough to sign anyone.

They do, however, have two open two-way slots that they can use on players with less than 4 years of NBA service.

You can sign an undrafted player for min I believe.
