The coaching staff has to find a way to put Jonathan Isaac in the starting lineup, he's a special player and we really need to get him feeling like he was before all the injuries!

ehh, very good defensive player. always felt he was overrated in Orlando and he is bad on offense.

[jezzerinho]

He's a non-entity on O and has never in all these years improved that side of his game.

V hard to see how he could be in a starting lineup that needs more O.

[pepe1991]

He is PF , by default he will never start over guy who makes near $250M , at C, he is useless because he can't set screens, isn't that active on glass and still gets pushed around by Cs who can match his size (Jarrett Allen made him look silly ).

Guy continues to be most overrated Magic player ever. Basically guy is taller Biyombo. Plays hard defense in regular season where others simply don't. Because there is nothing else he can bring to basketball team. In playoffs, once others match his energy, he is irrelevant.

Playoff numbers;

5,4 ppg
4,4 rpg
0,9 blocks
0,4 assists
37% FG

48,7% TS
Value over replacment : 0,0


He is moving better against who? Japaneese highschool team? LMAO

Yeah he looks great playing against those kids. Here's hoping he finally puts it all together in his 20th year on the team!

It’s not him playing against kids that got me excited, it’s the fact that he can move. Last year was rough. What he did to those kids are the same things he’s done to grown NBA players.

Doesn’t go super deep but it was a good listen. I don't think this team goes anywhere if Paolo do not increase his efficiency.

Watch on YouTube

We can’t talk about Paolo increasing his efficiency without bringing up Joe Prunty. Prunty is about to have the easiest job ( stat wise ) in the NBA improving this team by knowing how to unlock Paolo and Franz and implementing a system that allows them to be great together. Prunty isn’t just some dude, he brings with him 3 NBA Champions’s and loads of experience

Problem is a lot of Paolos inefficiency got to do with him being a bad/mefiocre finisher. A system that gets him easier shots gonna help but if he doesn't improve his finishing he will always have trouble to be efficient no matter the system.

Totally agree, for a 6’10” PF with his handles and fluidity he’s a horrible finisher at the rim. Realistically speaking Improving his layup/close range fg % and increasing his free throw % would bump Paolo up to nearly 30 points per game. It’s kinda crazy honestly, the two easiest parts of the game close range finishing at the rim and FT % are holding him back from 30 points nightly.

You guys do realize this is a pick up game with what seems to be regular people, no defense is being played, lol. There is nothing to gauge from this.

JI has been in the league for years now he kinda is what he is at this point. Let’s not AG him and wait for him to blow up, lol.

He is moving well because he doesn’t have the weight. That’s all I was saying in my post. The kids doesn’t matter. I’m not impressed because he can block kids, he does that to NBA players regularly.

[RookieStar]

So how did that closed door Goga game go?

[fendilim]

For how long did we sign Prunty?

that's what i gleaned from the video, he's moving well.....he's back to 60 frames per second....lets see if he can improve that

So how did that closed door Goga game go?

Georgia lost 66-76 vs Deni's Israel.

Goga played only 15 mins and had 10 pts (including 2-2 3pt!) and 8 rebs!

According to PRR, Goga has been working on his 3 ball. Used to be an ok shooter for Mega before draft but seems to have gone away. He wants it back.

That's all I got.

Thanks. Where did you get the info? And why only 15mins?

FIBA had a tiny game summary somewhere. I found an Israeli summary that had v little Georgia info, but mentioned Gogas 3s.

No idea about the 15min limit...

Goga’s been shooting 3s for Georgia for the past two summers. Not just this one.

He should’ve had the green light to shoot more 3s with us last season, but didn’t. He can develop a 3 like Vooch did, he has the range and touch. Just needs reps.

This video breaks down how Paolo can become a better efficient player...
Caution: he says one bad word early in the video.

Without watching this video I’m going to say the key to making Paolo a more efficient player will be having Paolo play with an actual real NBA POINT GUARD. Lol all jokes aside, having someone with the skill set and knowledge of putting Paolo in the right positions without the ball in his hand will help tremendously. Can’t wait to see Paolo’s reaction the first time he gets easy bask to back buckets without having to do it all himself.
