You only get to keep 3.. 

Post#1 » by MagicHolland » Sat Apr 10, 2021 4:20 pm

Of the players on this current roster going into next year. Who do you keep?

To me there’s no doubt I’d keep Okeke and Isaac. The third will probably still be Markelle as I still hope he pans out.

For me, Isaac & Okeke & i'm torn between WCJ & RJ. WCJ is the much better player but on a position easy to fill & gets paid soon. RJ is super raw but showed flashes & is pretty cheap for 4 years. I like watching Markelle but i'm a non believer in his shot.

Isaac is the only one that has clear separation from everyone else. That said, there's too much young talent on this roster to give up on anyone. The only ones I could let go without regretting too much are Cole and RJ. And not that I don't think they could be decent but I'm not as high on those two. For now, I want a good look at Fultz, Bamba, WCJ, and Okeke. And to be honest, I would like to see what we have in Otto and Harris too. Ross fills a role as well unless we draft Cade or Green.

Isaac, Harris, Hampton.

Fultz, Bamba, WCJ, Cole, Otto and Chuma can all go.

Okeke, Isaac........ Hampton ? WCJ is also nice, i like his chemistry with Okeke, he seems like the only one who is aware that Chuma is really, really good.

Bamba will be looking to get paid soon too. He went 1 pick in front of WCJ.

I’d keep Issac, Fultz and RJ Hampton. I like T-Ross but I’m assuming the question more pertains to the young guys on this roster. I’m not impressed with much on this roster currently. Then again that’s the idea, bottoming out.

Fultz - Cole Rj are not PGs based on what I saw and we forgot how easy it was for Cole to break defenses, get to the rim properly and set his man up.
JI- no need to explain
Okeke - the best young prospect we have. Although a bit undersize for the PF position, he has the defense , drive, range and bbiq for everything else

Isaac, Okeke, WCJr.

While I would also say Hampton, I would choose these three.

I don’t think any of Orlando’s wings or guards are starter worthy at this point. All of them are decent back ups in my opinion. Fultz contract was too rich for what I’ve seen up to this point and Cole is likely not a sure-thing starter in the foreseeable future. Maybe Hampton develops into that guy, who knows.

Isaac / Okeke / WCJ

I think that could be a winning front court if you found a superstar in the backcourt. I've loved what WCJ has brought, also don't think he'll be overly expensive to keep. The defensive potential and pick and roll / off ball offense of that trio is exciting for me.

Fultz / RJ / Cole - just too many question marks for me to commit to one over the above 3

Bamba - Showing life, still so much potential with his physical attributes, need to see more through the rest of the season, then might make the WCJ decision more interesting

With Fultz and Isaac to be uncertain in their capacities to recover to NBA health, I cannot choose either.
Porter and Ross are out for me as neither would be projected to be here for five year as this team redevelops.
Harris and Bamba are question marks and these re-signability is not clear.
Every other Magician is essentially replaceable.

My list of three might actually be Nobody.

I guess I go with Okeke and Hampton by default. But neither is a player per se to build a team around.

I’m the biggest Isaac homer there is. I have been all over him since FSU. Still, I have to say the injuries are becoming more and more worrisome.

I see Isaac, Chuma, WCJ and RJ as 4 guys to focus on.

If I can only pick 3, it’s hard to ignore the injuries for Isaac. True, he has shown more “special” talent than anyone else but that doesn’t matter on the bench.

Tough call.

Isaac, Okeke and Bamba.

I recognise that WCJ is the better and more consistent player at this point, but I would be taking Bamba more as an investment than a future piece. I think he’s the sort of guy who might suddenly find a fire next season in a contract year, and might flash enough potential that another team will be willing to pay a high price for in a trade. Or maybe not as C’s do seem to be moving around at lower value on the trade market.

WCJ on the other hand can likely be held for reasonable value and reasonable production, making him the safer bet.

I’m not sold in Cole, RJ or Fultz being future foundation worthy at this point. Good scoring sparks off the bench is where they’re all falling for me in projections.
