As rough as the second year was, I still wish he would have played more the 1st year.

Eric Musselmann for all his personal warts was a brilliant Magic assistant coach and knew what he had in AB. It’s starting to blossom on an NBA level. Shammgod deserves a lot of credit there.

Not playing in the Cavs series delayed this leap.
