We dodged a major bullet feel sorry for those OKC fans and Chet but I’m that much happier we made the right choice by drafting a guy who has an NBA ready body and the game to back up being the number 1 pick.

Agree that he’s way better. Sure AG is more athletic but he doesn’t even know how to use it to his advantage. Franz is already better than him in every other facet of the game besides defense but I expect that to change sooner rather than later.

RJ is trash he doesn’t learn from his mistakes and just does the same thing over and over again, the definition of insanity.

Hahaha we thought the same thing.

Then he follows it up with another boneheaded play. No court awareness whatsoever.

Doing typical RJ things. Low bball IQ on full display.

Caleb Houstan’s shot is very smooth, I’m liking the pick more and more. He also moves constantly off the ball and I’m just waiting for someone to finally hit him with a pass.

Even when he is playing off the ball anytime he gets it he’s looking for his shot instead of making the right play. He will never make it in this league if he keeps putting himself first.

True but if I’m the coach I’m holding all players accountable and he clearly missed Houstan on the break. He’s playing too selfishly instead of getting others involved and teaching guys to play the right way is more important than worrying about their confidence.

RJ is looking awful he needs to have a seat until he plays some team basketball.

Caleb Houstan is looking pretty good as well.

Oh I know it’s just nice seeing it in a live game setting with him wearing a Magic jersey instead of just in practice.

Guys Banchero’s shot is legit, I think we struck gold with this pick.

RJ is forcing everything right now and not letting the game come to him. Highly disappointing so far, I was hoping to see some sort of improvement from last year.

My thoughts exactly, he struggled due to the fact Kenny Lofton Jr was deliberately backing him down on offense and putting a body on him on the defensive end. Chet is going to face much quicker and physical bigs once he plays against NBA starting PF’s and C’s. It’s going to be interesting how he adjusts to the physicality although I do think the spacing in the NBA is going to benefit him tremendously especially when SGA and Giddey are on the floor attracting so much attention from the defense.

I definitely see the potential with Chet but the red flags with his health are definitely concerning and I’m glad we passed up on him because of this. He fell a few times and even twisted his ankle in the first half and this was against Utah who didn’t seem like they had any NBA ready players. If he can stay healthy he will be a generational talent but that’s a big if.

Myles Turner and Donovan Mitchell.

I just did it and got OKC, seems like we all are on the same page or it’s rigged lol.

He’s not a leader in my eyes and has never carried a team by himself. He’s also not getting any younger and has been hurt for long stretches over the last few seasons. Add in the off court stuff like going at it with fans, media, and anyone who says anything negative about him I wouldn’t want that kind of distraction in our locker room. He’s also forced his way out of a few places and we’d just be the next team to get burned the second he was unhappy with something.

Yeah man seems like it’s going to be a wild free agency. Question is if we are going to get involved and go after a big name or just sign some vets and not tie up our cap space.

Ah gotcha my bad I misread your post. I’d definitely look at Curry or Harris. I’d say Nic Claxton as well if we don’t sign Hartenstein or resign Bamba.

I could see that happening for sure but not for extended minutes. Unless Suggs stinks it up again this year with his shooting and or gets hurt.

I wouldn’t touch either of them with a 10 foot pole and I’m more than certain they have no interest in coming here. They are both Diva’s who would kill any chemistry we have and they want to go to a contender.

I’d still prefer Fultz starting as he’s a more natural PG and facilitator. Anthony running our second unit would give him more leeway to be the score first guard that he is.

Another fun fact I used to play against his dad in a church league I was in many moons ago. He had a nasty 3 point shot and was a great passer. I’m sure Anfernee was there I just dont recall seeing him since he was tiny at the time.
