You mean Caleb never dribbled the ball in the game?

That's what he's saying.

Over the last two games Caleb hasn't dribbled once. But he has hit 7 three pointers.

So he is the perfect 3pt threat for our 2 attacking big wings. We do hvae our Corey Kispert

Caleb's definitely dribbled the ball, I specifically remember him playing off a Moe Wagner screen in one of the games. But he hasn't dribbled once setting up a field goal attempt.

Random Paolo fact - in his rookie season he had 3,7 APG, in the first 28 games this season - 4,5 APG and then in the next 30 games - 6 APG.

Random WCJ fact - he has lower block percentage than Cole Anthony.

We thought we have starter on great contract and in reality we have reserve on good contract.
We need more tough players.

Man, I really like the Suggs/Shooter as the starting guard rotation with Franz, PB, WCJ.

I am getting the feeling they are going to bring Harris back on a 1yr or hand the keys to Caleb. Obviously an upgrade would take us to that next level I just don't think they are going to do that.

For this year I would not be shocked if that is our starting line-up going forward.

Crazy how close AB/Goga is to Fultz/WCJ starting lineups.

How much better does swapping out one player for another make the team? Does it make sense to play AB over Fultz or Harris or Cole? Does it make sense to play Goga over WCJ or Moe?

It seems to make sense to either start Goga or put him in the rotation as he tends to outplay WCJ or Moe. With AB, there isn't strong evidence one way or the other but it does tend to lean towards playing Fultz, Cole, and Harris over him if the decision is between them or AB.

Swap in Fultz for Black for a 1.2 point boost in net rating, with a 95% confidence interval of -12 to 15
Swap in Harris for Black for a 6.1 point boost in net rating, with a 95% confidence interval of -9 to 22
Swap in Cole for Black for a 9.6 point boost in net rating, with a 95% confidence interval of -4 to 23
Swap in Suggs for Black for a 6.1 point drop in net rating, with a 95% confidence interval of -23 to 10

Swap in WCJ for Goga for a 15.7 point drop in net rating, with a 95% confidence interval of -31 to 0
Swap in Moe for Goga for a 11.2 point drop in net rating, with a 95% confidence interval of -24 to 3
Swap in JI for Goga for a 10.7 point drop in net rating, with a 95% confidence interval of -34 to 15

Started a petition for the team to change Shaq’s retired jersey banner:
https://www.change.org/p/change-shaq-s-orlando-magic-32-retired-jersey-inside-kia-center

Had some friends and fans ask me, so I did it. If we make our voices heard, then the franchise can’t ignore them.

The improvement from one of the worst rookie shooting seasons of all time to this is really impressive. Giannis is a cheatcode :lol:
