And he just set AB up for the hockey assist to Goga.

I’m hoping he surprises with his playmaking this season.


He had underrated playmaking last season tbh, just too many possessions where he looks for himself only.

Most people talk as there are zero redeemable qualities about players when they don't like someone though.


Guilty as charged. I think a lot of Cole’s playmaking comes from his reputation as a scorer and his passes come as more of a surprise to the defense.

Hopefully being “the veteran stabiliser” of the 2nd unit will help him slow down and be more selective with what he’s doing.

If AB would have connected on that behind the back pass...

AB has some tricky handoff ability, Goga has gotta get better prepared for those cheeky drop offs.

Mose has some very interesting rotation decisions ahead of him.

There's legitimately 13 guys who probably could/should be playing.

8 assists in 17 minutes played. Pretty good for a 3&D guy. 8-)

I'd like Culver if he'd scale back his usage.

Still standby my comment that AB’s limited role last year was by design. AB is comfortable out there doing what he did in Arkansas.

Think there will be rest days for the vets for sure, and natural injuries too. Everyone will get a chance to shine. What will be interesting will be a potential playoff rotation though. I still don't think he'd trust three "rookies" at once in that scenario, but one of Black, Jett or TDS will separate themselves as trustworthy IMO.

This is just such a dumb thing you two are doing.

I never once said Anthony Black wasn't going to be a point guard in the NBA at some point.

I never really said he had no ability to make plays for other people either.

I said, correctly, that the Magic used him in a non-point guard role last year - which is completely true.

I'm very glad they appear to be primed to not do that again. I wish they hadn't done it last year either because I think he'd be further along this year.

Yep. If we were drinking in a bar together while watching the game it would make taking victory laps a lot more fun. And the beer would be flowing.

AB and Jett are going to be in the rotation starting the regular season. And that is my prediction

How long before Weltman signs Caleb Houstan to an 8 year contract, he retires with Orlando, and takes David Steele’s job as an announcer?

Return to Orlando Magic
