Wagner surprisingly tentative. Cole is doing too much.

My only conclusion from this half is RJ at the 3 isn't going to work.

Where is Mario playing ball right now? Europe? I think Franz has a bright future playing next to him in La Liga.

He seems to want to be anywhere else...I can't be more disappointed with his debut so far.
But st least we hace Suggs <3

Suggs is being the player I thought he would be. Wagner is in his on head gotta relax and let the game come to him

Cole is not a point guard nor a very good shooting guard. I don't know what he is.

I think he is playing good defense. Shot isn’t falling might be nerves Will see

Wagner has looked soft on d, clanking shots, soft passes. He's probably nervous too but he needs to play stronger and with more conviction.

Cole is clearly a bench/6th man microwave player. When that magic realizes that is gonna be intresting.

If Suggs is given the starting job to start and comes out guns blazing and fultz comes back a couple months into the season its gonna get real intresting to see what this organization does with cole & fultz.

Not going to lie Suggs looks good. And I wished the magic had moved up a pick to somehow get Kuminga, dude looks good.

Suggs - potential to be a bullying top tier point guard.
Wagner - not showing a lot so far, will need to find his role.
Hampton - completely out of control.

Kuminga - oozing with potential.

RJ has some slowing down to do. Seems like he’s so pumped he’s a bit out of control. I think Suggs will help him get there.

Yep he is. That last possession he had, he should have taken the 3. Instead he hesitated and did not know what he wanted to do with the ball. Easy read for Kuminga to get that steal.

He just needs to calm down and let the game come to him.

Cderryberry · Post #235 » by **Cderryberry** » Tue Aug 10, 2021 1:15 am

You can see Kuminga is definitely benefiting from g league play

He has stolen two balls en three seconds OMG. We needed him SO much

Wow one game and we’re already calling Franz a bust some of y’all man

GameOver25 · Post #238 » by **GameOver25** » Tue Aug 10, 2021 1:16 am

The Franz hot takes get them out your system. Without a biased agenda, it's obvious he's just playing tentative out there.

He needs to put on some weight. He's definitely not a 3 but doesn't have enough strength for the 2 either. And his handles are so rudimentary. He needs to put in more work.
