Vegas likes the Hawks at 13 points.

Anthony has to go get that basketball. When you have a big that has snared an offensive rebound and is looking for an outlet, you have to go get the ball to reset the offense.

Wow, this forum is dying quickly. Only a couple of games left after we get blown out tonight. People over here gave up on the Magic and this injury-riddled season, I get it, but come on...

You guys are gonna miss the Magic and basketball during the summer break. No Summer league to look for and we are left with the draft night only.

There will be a Summer League in August.

That's news to me, didn't know that. Thank you! Good news. I hope we are going to deploy our new weapons from the draft in the Summer League, hopefully Cade or Jalen Green.

The question is though, will all 3 of our soon-to-be sophomores ( cole/rj/chuma ) play in the SL? To go along with our "potential" 3 rookies?

With the reps we have been giving our rookies, our FO might think they are better off just resting our working on their individual games rather than SL. But what do i know? lol

Good news is that the Sixers are getting smashed in Miami and will likely play hard at home tomorrow night with a chance to clinch the 1 seed.

Anthony and Hampton should go along with hopefully two lotto picks.

I wouldn't send Okeke.

Man Dwayne Bacon is TRASH!!!!! good for the tank though

[MartinsIzAfraud]

Don’t want to see Bacon starting next year. Dude is absolute bum level but we know Cliff loves the pork.

[MaKiaVeLi7]

Unfortunately it's quite clear that Chuma is injury-prone, at least in his early pro career. Torn ACL in college, another knee issue, sprained ankles and other multiple minor injuries during his rookie season.

I wouldn't send him to SL. It wouldn't be a smart decision for the Magic GM and coach to let him play. And we all know what he's capable of and that he belongs in the NBA. Chuma already has pro-skills and does need to prove it in SL. We need him healthy alongside Isaac, Fultz and Cade/Green next season.

It's not going to be much fun watching Gary Harris play 25 MPG next year. He's just shot offensively.

[KillMonger]

Man i like Anthony and RJ but i can't wait until fultz gets back....at the very least he can run an offense and set people up....They can do an adequate job but a leopard never change it's spots

[ChosenSavior]

That was a pretty drive by RJ

Fultz shot might still be broken but the rest of the #1 pick talent is still there. God I hope this extra time off has given him the time needed to increase the range of his normal jumper. He was in a hell of a slump when he got injured but his normal-form jumper was starting to extend out to ~20 feet,

[MaKiaVeLi7]

I don't care what anyone says, I like RJ Hampton. This young guy is fire. He's fearless and extremely explosive when attacking the rim.

RJ is showing improvement in all aspects of his game after he started getting regular minutes. And he's not afraid of playing free and making mistakes. He will make a big step forward next year. Mark my words. He is playing hard and will surprise many smart heads next season.

Question : doesnt or having an ACL injury and surgery prevent you from utilizing fully your knees right? So that would mean you cant use it when you make a shooting motion and thus prevent you from practicing shots?
