the 2023 draft... two lotto picks... and not one guy that is definitively part of the future.

I can confirm that Bane is not KCP. I repeat, Bane is NOT KCP!

Bane play making a lot which is good. But he has to hit those wide open 3s from Paolo.

I don't think these guys are gonna play in the second half

Bane is better PG than Tyus

Everyone who was saying bane is just a shooter can’t play make at all watching?

Tyus is basically a rich man's version of CoJo.

He's not going to actively make a lot of plays, but he's not going to turn it over much and he's going to just make the basic, steady play and hit three open catch-and-shoot 3PT.

But he's also awful defensively.

Bane can do it all, something we haven't had in a long time. So much potential, its exciting.

I’m not super worried about AB. We know what he can do in actual games. Their chemistry is just off.

OMG - Magic basketball is back! Missed the start but tuned in now. Feels good to be watching games again. Welcome back everyone.

Not really sure if anyone really suggested that?

Bane's averaged over 5 APG in both of the last two years. He's an excellent secondary playmaker.

Bane really gives us a dimension we didn't have. He has to be defended at the 3pt line, and he's very competent attacking that off the dribble.

Bro it’s first preseason game after 4 days of practice… Hell I was really impressed with Jett looked very active and more bouncy on defense

The bad news bears out there again
