JI ACL should be good at 14 months. Question is how is conditioning after getting COVID? I think the extra time is to build more muscles and endurance. Fultz might need another month or 2 before he can go. Chuma bruised hip has nothing to do with his ACL surgery, but if its just a bruised it will take a week or two.

I used to love going to the summer league when it was in Orlando. It would be nice but Vegas means more money for NBA.

Suggs shut down

Suggs was fun to watch, RJ show flashes, Wagner need to get stronger, Cole need to stop being a black hole, and Timma should be signed. This is just 1st game and hope they keep getting better. Suggs,Fultz, Okeke, issac, and WCJ would be fun to watch.

I think most kids that make it to NBA you can’t judge who they are till 5 years in. Look at Curry and his ankle problems, scouts would have wrote him off but now he is one of the biggest star in the NBA. If Cole have a chip on his shoulder and put in the work he will be great. I actually like RJ a little more and I really like his upside.

FO is on fire. I am truly excited about our season. I think we will win more games than people think. I wish SL was still here. Used to love going to those.

Coach Mosley is 6’8” and Wagner was at least 3 inch taller at the intro photo

Just watch Suggs, Wagner, and coach interview, usually you feel dumber after listening to some basketball players speak....but man these guys are articulate and smart; they bring a sense of true under of the game. Loving it right now with all the changes.

Kuminga #5 lol

SAG is borderline all-stars already and will continue to improve at 23...plus 6 which could be Kuminga or Barnes. Can someone develops into someone special in the top 3?(Green, Mobley, Cunningham) maybe, but someone thought joe smith, Krame Brown, Darko, Anthony Bennett we’re special too. I would take that deal and run.

24 years old...he would be older than half the team as a rookie.

Unless its green, I dont want us to move. There is real possibility if someone pick barnes, we can get suggs and Kuminga in this draft. I am addicted to this years since there are so many possibility. Can pick Kuminga and trade 8th for pick and 12-14th and pick up Sengun, can get Barnes and Kuminga is he drop, can get Barnes and Moody and etc

2021 NBA Draft scouting report: Alperen Sengun (msn.com) This is a pretty good write up of him, like you said defense is a problem, but with our team i think we can cover that up. His foot work and fundamentals is advance for someone his age. There is still room for him to grow both physically and his game. It would be interesting to see if his growth plate is sealed. if not if he can grow another inch or 2....he would be a breast inside. He NEED to develop a jump shot, but I think that will come with age and experience. There are so much possibility with this draft...so excited.

We will have tons of money to pick up a vet or 2. Use the pick for BPA and see what happens. Hope for one of the team up top picks someone else have Suggs or mobley fall to us, and pick up Kuminga at 8 would be amazing.

Magic Welcome Jonathan Kuminga to Amway Center for Pre-Draft Workout | Orlando Magic (nba.com)

Super quiet after the Kuminga workout...

NBA Mock Draft 8.0: Warriors trade for Ben Simmons; Jalen Green rises (sircharlesincharge.com) Interesting scenario.

Unless you are a big city like NYC/Brooklyn , LA, Miami, SF and etc. You are not going to sign superstars to form super team. You also wont be able to tank constantly and get lucky in the draft. For Orlando to win a championship, we need to draft good players, get lucky they develop and maybe sign a big time free agent to push us over the top. We wont be able to lure lebron, Curry, or Zion. For a small/mid market team you need to tank, get lucky, and sign one star. Cant just do it from draft and cant just do it with signing free agents.

Kuminga should be here today. Let see if he will make a strong impression on the magic.

Save money for luka

Wednesday I think

Kuminga should be coming in to impress the magic early next week. So far I know moody, Barnes, Wagner, kuminga, Kispert, jalen Johnson had/will workout by the magic and we had few oversea prospects for the #33. I hope someone pick Barnes and Mobley or Suggs fall and we pick up kuminga with the 8. That would be my ideal draft. I think it would be too costly to trade up most likely will cost us 5&8 and maybe bulls pick in the future. I am happy with our current position and if we can develop the young guys...we will be fine.

We want pictures for each day.

Early next week
