I haven't watched him a lot, but is Buddy Heild a significant upgrade from Gary Harris? We would do so much better with a great 3P threat on the floor with Paolo / Wagner / Fultz driving.

I had thought Weltman would have his history with Milwaukee included, but I guess Hammond was technically the decision maker then. With that being said, I think it's unfair to call Jalen Suggs a "strikeout" of a pick at this point in his career. But everything else I agree with. I do love the fact that we've had 3 triples (3B) with Wagner and Paolo as well as the Vuc trade. I can see Paolo turning into a HR next year. Either way, 21st seems good for him. He's consistent but never taken any chances with trades or otherwise.

Haliburton has been doing so well from the eye test. Both he and Reeves play so well together. Also, Brandon Ingram saying he was going to be the "KD of the group" lol

He's got a good enough looking jump shot that I'm not overly worried.

Man, she was young. All the love to the Van Gundy family.

I don't see where he fits on the depth chart, so this is probably a G league contract. The guy has crazy athleticism, so maybe with the right surrounding influences, he can be a good end of the bench type of player. You also know his dunks in practice will get that entire team hyped. Haha

That national televised number can change though, right? If Paolo comes out like the All-Star champ we believe he can be and the Magic are in contention for the 4th/5th seed, I would hope to expect more televised games... or do these not change at all, no matter whatever hot streak is happening?

I don't always agree with our management, but one thing they do really well is draft high character guys who are not going to be headaches in the locker room. He much was praised about the posture and humility of Paulo, which goes right in the face of the preconceived notion that young guys who are good early come into the league entitled. Paolo's composure is indeed like Tim Duncan, and I can very much live with that type of leader that leads with humble, hard work.

Paolo getting a lot of praise from Isaiah Thomas. https://www.si.com/nba/magic/news/orlando-magic-sensation-paolo-banchero-gilbert-arenas-podcast-isaiah-thomas

E'twaun Moore... lololololool HOW HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS??

It's amazing that we say "Franz wasn't dominant" and yet he's the highest scorer of the game. Perhaps he just needs to impose his will more? Or maybe he only takes over when he feels like he has to? No one likes playing with a ball hog and it feels like Franz genuinely wants to play team ball and only looks to score in the rhythm of the game as he sees it.

So I'm looking at this USA team and I'm thinking... surely this isn't our Olympus Team for 2024... but can they add guys down the road? Some names that aren't on the team: Kevin Durant Jayson Tatum Damian Lillard Devon Booker Jimmy Butler Jamaal Murray Steph Curry Deandre Fox Evan Mobley Bam Adebayo and the list goes on. I mean, we have Josh Hart, Bobby Portis, Cam Johnson, and Austin Reaves on this team. That's not to say they're bad but how do we have them on the Team USA roster and not on the Select Roster?? I mean.. we have 2 ONE TIME ALL STARS (Halliburton and Edwards) on our team AND THAT'S IT! Someone please tell me we're just playing these guys for the qualifier and that the reinforcements will come next summer...

How did Franz Wagner do today?
