Hey guys,
this is my first post ever. So pls be gentle. :-) I am reading these boards for quite a while now. I love the passion you guys have. I am a big magic fan since the days of Penny and Shaq, 3d and nick. I've seen this team changing and growing. The magic introduced me in my basketball passion, when basketball in Germany meant watching Det the Threat once a week 30 min max.
When I am taking a look at the current roster, I really see a bunch of talent.
Ryan bulking up and training hard is great to hear. I loved his game at the beginning of last season and I think he is a way better fit than Bass would be. Sure, Bass is pure muscle and power, but does he understand the game?
Ryan, I think, combines some skills the team surely can benefit from: Nice shot, great rebounder, length (if length could be seen as a skill). Being more powerful, Ryan could improve both his individual defense as well as his drive.
Would love to see him in the starting 5 and Shard at 3.
But these are just my 2 cents.
And I hope you guys do really forgive me, if my english sometimes seems to be crappy.
