This is why he was drafted #1 overall. Scoring versatility. Pull-up 3, post, cut for dunk, midrange pull-up and hard drive with left spin for layup. How do you want it?.

Tristan Da Silva.Forward 6’9 217 lbs.16 ppg, 5 rpg & 2.4 apg . -6’10 wingspan .-Skilled do-it-all forward.-Nice feel for the game.-Seasoned .-Good athlete.-Not overly quick or explosive 🧨 .-No major holes in game.-Should push for minutes as a rookie.

Paolo said he doesn’t want to be the PG. That means Orlando should try to acquire a PG. It’s that simple. No more Paolo is the PG. Thank you. Good night.

Paolo x Slim Reaper. Paolo is working on getting to his shot quickly. This will improve his efficiency.

From Bleacher Report. I am smashing accept on this deal. But not from the Scoot angle but the Simons angle.

I think if Simons were on this team he would come off the bench. As much as I wouldn’t mind it, I don’t see Orlando giving up first round picks for a bench player. Now if Ayton is included that’s a different story.

Coach Mosley is known for defense and player development. It’s no surprise this was Mo Bamba’s most productive year. This video shows him practicing one-on-one with Bamba. I look forward to him doing the same with Paolo Banchero.

The Magic currently have 7 players that can initiate the offense and conduct pick and rolls:.-Cole Anthony .-Paolo Banchero .-Anthony Black.-Markelle Fultz.-Joe Ingles.-Jalen Suggs.-Franz Wagner . This is a tremendous advantage in a motion offense.

Always bet on Duke forwards and Kentucky PGs.
There’s buzz building around a potential draft slide for Rob Dillingham, who is unlikely to go in the top-10. Dillingham’s size — 6’1” without shoes and a 6’3” wingspan — alongside many lottery teams not prioritizing point guards could be pushing him down the board. Don’t be

If the Magic were able to keep Franz, Carter Jr. and Banchero, would you trade for Utah’s Donovan Mitchell?

I don’t think Tyus Jones is the difference between the Magic making the playoffs or not. Small PG on an awful team who is free-agent after this year. The infatuation with him by some Magic fans doesn’t make sense to me.

Look at the Boston Celtics defensive versatility. The Orlando Magic want defensive versatility. Tyus Jones doesn’t fit that profile.

We couldn’t draft Ausar, but the Magic definitely should’ve taken Whitmore with one of their two picks.

Signing KCP is a double whammy for Denver. They lose a starter and Orlando gains one. Also, Orlando owns Denver’s 2025 first round pick thanks to the Aaron Gordon trade. I assume Denver’s record will be worse this year.

Magic need a starting shooting guard. A consistent shooter and a secondary ball handler, so Paolo doesn’t have to initiate the offense the majority of the time.

Markelle Fultz looked like his old self in good ways and bad. Positives were facilitating, attacking paint and hitting from midrange. The negative continues to be the 3-pt shot. He didn’t even attempt one last night.

Watching Jaylen Brown, I think Orlando really needs an athletic 6’6-6’9 player that’s dangerous is transition.

Good luck to him.
Gary Harris will draw interest from plenty of teams in free agency as a veteran 3-and-D wing. Harris is expected to receive around the taxpayer mid-level exception. The 29-year-old has shot 39.2% on threes during his tenure with the Magic.

🎯 I would rather go after a cheaper option like Jalen Smith rather than Hartenstein. 7’2.25 wingspan .42% from 3.
There’s an early indication that Jalen Smith will decline his $5.4 million player option with the Pacers to enter unrestricted free agency, per @MikeAScotto (. Smith was one of the NBA’s most efficient backup bigs this season averaging 9.9 points and 5.5

Goga is a decent backup. He’s not a starter in this league. Realize just because a player performs well for a stretch doesn’t make him a starter.

If im gambling 🎰 on a small guard not named Trae Young, it would be “Young Bull”. Not Tyus Jones.
Rival executives believe the Jazz could make Collin Sexton available on the trade market this offseason, per @MikeAScotto (. Sexton averaged 18.7 points and 4.9 assists while shooting 39.4% on threes this season.

I’m going to explain Paolo’s game to fans like they’re 5 years old. “He’s a guard in a power forward’s body.”.
Paolo Banchero is not normal at 6’10” 250+. That’s DPOY Jaren Jackson Jr and put him in a blender 💀

Use it or lose it Orlando. For those advocating for internal development only, this is the last time in the foreseeable future the Magic will have cap space.
I updated my 2024 NBA cap space projections:. 1. Pistons: $64.4M.2. 76ers: $61.3M.3. Magic: $49.5M.4. Jazz: $38.1M.5. Thunder: $35.3M.6. Spurs: $21.3M. Hornets are a swing team. If Miles Bridges leaves, I project them to have $29.8M in space.

Ausar is noticeably bigger since OTE season ended. He was listed at 207 lbs during the season and 218 lbs at the combine.

Orland has to be out at those numbers.
Isaiah Hartenstein could fetch a contract upwards of $100 million in free agency, per @JakeLFischer (. The Pistons and Thunder are potential suitors who might try to pry Hartenstein away from the Knicks.

His shot is good. No worries from me.

I’d rather put in a lesser offer for Dejounte Murray.
Bill Simmons says Orlando should be putting in a Godfather offer for Garland right now seeing how Mitchell has taken over. What do you guys thing? . #MagicTogether

Some seem to overreact after 4 games. Orlando lost to the Lakers and Clippers. I expected them to lose those games. They’re .500 team and that’s fine. The problem is some players don’t fit with Paolo and Franz. I think that’s the larger issue.

There it is I preferred DeRozan but KCP is a solid get. PG ain’t coming.
