Sweater Vest Thread #20: Magic 119 - Lakers 118

[UCFJayBird]

I never understood the Iwundu hate. I mean it's cool to not like him I guess but I find it funny how often he is brought up in game threads considering how little he plays and how little responsibility he has on the court. He's a complete afterthought to me.

Because he's a complete offensive liability most the time. Glad to see him maybe turning the corner and having some good offensive games, but an NBA player should not shoot lower than 35% from the field, let alone lower than 30% which he was the first two months of the season.

He's shooting 45% in January though, so it's climbing and is now at 36% for the season. If he can hit shots at a reasonable clip he's a great player for us, as his defense is very good.

I just feel that because he's so easily replaceable and gets so little run and has such little responsibility that he's not really worth harping on. I'd much rather dump on DJ

Fultz gets my vote for his all-around exceptional play, but AG and Iwundu were both really great tonight (and kudos to Clark and Johnson, too, for solid and unexpected contributions).

I changed my mind: Johnson for the Mittens.

Man was he was not overwhelmed and was super focused.

Kinda looked like a young D-Wade.

Markelle is our stud!

So many remarkable moments.

and i never understood apprecition for iwundu. he is a 25 year old who is one of the worst players in the league. like, why? you wouldn't know he exists if he wasnt on the magic.

I had to triple check the box score for Iwundu's stats. This board told me he isn't good enough for the G-League, let alone the NBA.

Actually he is G league level player, but even them are capable of having good nights , if you give them 3 years of free-pass to do something.

Tonight some guy named Svjatoslav Mihaljuk scored 21 points in NBA.

Dude, try to enjoy your life! You're the forum equivalent of an ice bath (probably good for you to experience and beneficial to your development, but entirely devoid of positive moments)

It was a great game. Iwundu played great. He might never play great again so instead enjoy this rare treat! Life's too short to be perpetually cynical.

Iwundu i think had a knee sprain and missed the entire training camp and was still hobbled at the beginning of the year. He looks like he's healthy now. Hopefully he can at least get back to the 41% fg percentage and 37 from 3 like he was last year.
