WCJ's stroke looks nicer than Mo's.

I need to look up WCJ shooting numbers, because his shot looks smooth on both that 3 & 2
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

Ross hardly seems to be touching the ball. They really seem to be giving Mo and WCJ some heavy focus.

Excellent sequence from Mo. Keep battling on the defense end young fella. I need to see him move his feet better and have better defensive awareness when guards are driving in the paint looking for the dump off pass.

I mean that summed up his entire career.

About 5 just horrific possessions in a row, followed by a block that about 3 other guys in the NBA would get, followed by a beautiful swished 3 against a semi contest.

Bamba just gets manhandled on the boards... but there is so much potential there

That 3 is so huge for WCJ's development. He is a much more developed offensive player than Bamba is. We just need to keep building his confidence.

And seriously Cliff, enough of this Birch crap.

Start Carter Jr. and let him play *with* Okeke at the 4.

From what I have seen in these games regarding WCJ, this guy is far from a scrub. He really does remind me of Al Horford in how he plays.

His release seems to be inconsistent.
It's the same release that Klay uses, with one hand.

Mo much better at preventing the easy layup from the guards but then having a hard time shifting back to the big. Doesn't help that Otto was playing the 4 with Bamba, probably looks completely different with Okeke or JI at the 4 to help on the big.

True. He isn't Vucevic and I doubt he ever will be. But without Vuc you can really see how bad other players are at boxing out. A few of those offensive rebounds Bamba had 2 guys on him for the board and other Magic players just sitting there afk watching.

Just need to be patient with him.

am I crazy or can we realistically be happy with both of these young centers? Shouldn't be a contest.

Why does this team not want to give it to WCJ when there is a PG guarding him????
