    GAME THREAD: Magic @ Pistons

    Every game that passes I'm loving Harris more and more. Really hope he is in the long term plans for management.

    GAMETHREAD: Orlando Magic @ Toronto Raptors

    I'm impressed with how Tobias has kept his cool. Played a good game so far and is getting treated like a rookie by the officials.

    GAMETHREAD #1: Oct. 28th - Orlando Magic @ Pellies

    He most assuredly does, but seeing him be so efficient, attacking the rim and going at one of the most athletic defenders in the game was a great thing to watch. This team is filled right now with defenders that were not sure if their offensive game is ever gonna pan out. Having someone who looks ready to take the ball and shoulder the load on offense is a welcome sight if Tobias is ready to step up to the task.

    GAMETHREAD #1: Oct. 28th - Orlando Magic @ Pellies

    Not a single person here has mentioned Tobias performance at all? And people wonder why the media ignore him. Our own fans ignore him. 25 points on 50% shooting even with Anthony Davis matching up against him and 8 rebounds when Vuc is grabbing almost every board out there. The 4 TO's sucked but outside of that he was far and away the best player on the roster last night and no one is talking about it.

    Leader, leader !! Anybody got a leader !!!

    There are several "Lead by example" types on this team but for the one who's voice looks like it will be the loudest and will hold other accountable I have to think Harris. He just has the look of a guy who holds other's accountable and gets everyone to match intensity. If theres one guy who I think is really gonna take a big step forward this year it's him.

    Duke looks like they are about to go down. I love me an upset but as they and the Gators are the only two teams I care about in college basketball (and UCF... but thats a ship that sailed)... Well maybe this will nock Jabari's stock a bit and he decides to stay another year to play with Okafor and the rest of the ridiculous class they have coming in next year.

    In other words, he thins they can handle those two games without him, put a potential matchup following against Syracuse...

    2014 Draft Thread

    You know if he's not drafted (and I severely doubt he will be), I would love to see the Magic give a camp invite to Isaiah Sykes. 36 pts, 2 asts 3 stls and 9 rebounds tonight in the first round of the AAC tourney. The guy is literally UCF's only offensive threat, opponents are geared to stop him every night and he still consistently puts in work in one of the better basketball conferences in the country. He's got talent but he's still rough around the edges, horrible foul shooter and jump shooter, and way to reliant on his left hand, but a good coach could really bring something out of him. Young athletic and great on the defensive side with an awesome drive. Also, Marcus Smart is a man on a mission and he may play himself back into a top 5 pick at this rate.

    Jabari Parker is just absolutely tearing North Carolina apart right now.

    2014 Draft Thread

    With the way Denver and New York are playing, my dream of getting a combo of Wiggins/Parker and Smart/Ennis is alive and well.

    2014 Draft Thread

    Yes, however I honestly see him staying one more year to improve his draft stock. He hardly is cracking the lineup at all right now due to so much missed time, and lets be honest, with how well the Gators are playing it would be a mistake to disrupt chemistry based on potential alone. However next year with both Young and Yeguette gone he will have the starting 4 position easily. Get a whole year two showcase your skills and then go into a much lower talent filled draft. Not saying there is no chance he will leave early, however unless some team comes out and tells him they will draft him in the mid first round, I see him instead staying.

    I bleed orange and blue, but no one on UF is worth the current draft picks we are carrying. Not saying I wouldn't want any of them. Wilbekin, Young or Prather would all make excellent off the bench players and fit in with the length and athleticism that Hennigan seems to like building a team around. But none of them are what I would consider spending anymore then a late first round or early to mid second round pick on.

    How Many Games Have you Watched from Beginning to End?

    You just summed up my thoughts on Big Baby perfectly. You know he is giving his all every second of the day. There are so many guys in the league who are just collecting paychecks on bad teams, but BBD is not one of them. The man does not know the meaning of the word quit. Were it not for the questionable decisions, the head scratching shot selection, the ability to just single handedly derail an entire team's ball movement within a few seconds... Glenn would be somebody that I would never want to see traded on the level of JJ. That the mere thought of him in another jersey just ticks me off. And yet... unfortunately... I can't wait for the day he is shipped out.

    Hopefully he can start falling in the draft. Then we can pick him up with our second pick.

    That's a bit what scares me. This kid has so much talent that even when he checks out he should be the number one threat on the floor. T-Mac could check out and still drop 30 points. Wiggins checks out and he actually becomes a hindrance to his team.
