But there’s no reason to think DaSilva is going to regress

you sure his 1st 2 games weren't the outliers? Obviously, I'm hoping it wasn't.


Yeah. He was a good scorer in college and flashed last year. I think we can buy the progression

Defense/rebounding? That’s a different story

again, I hope he has improved but to say that you KNOW he is better is laughable

If I’m going to watch all these mistakes, I rather it come from our rookie.

Bane does not look like a guy you mortgage your future for unfortunately.

The Orlando Magic are cursed with backup PG's

It's a franchise thing

PA guy bringing nothing.

Could use a Paul Porter ‘Here Come the Magic!’ to wake the crowd up.

I don’t get this tempo at all. These players are not comfortable with this style of play. Which explains the turnovers

Yup, have feared this from the beginning. As long as the Suns don't get top 3 in this legendary top 3 draft I can cope pretty easily though.

I mean everyone loves to throw out his assist to turnover ratio but seem to ignore that he's on his 4th team in 4 years, says something that no one even tried to keep him

He's not that good, never has been, which is what a lot of people here having been telling people for the past 2 offseasons when everyone was begging weltman to sign him
