MagicFanInNevada 51 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 dun think he is explosive at all, hmmm.. I would have picked ingram as the 1st pick for sure before the draft I agree, I feel Ingram is going to be the better player when all set and done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 we all should love skiles, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have gotten vogel, and if it wasn't for otis we wouldn't have gotten henny... we should make statues for skiles and otis Henny has produced 4 TERRIBLE seasons and no all stars and Vogel just got fired from Larry Bird....lets not say they are Jerry West and Phil Jackson yet. When Henny/Vogel win us our first championship this year we can talk about statues for Skiles and Otis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Henny/Vogel win us our first championship this year we can talk about statues for Skiles and Otis. Yeah and 3 of those 4 seasons we were specifically designed to lose in order to gather young talent through the draft. To pretend that our record is any indication of Hennigan's success, or lack thereof, is incredibly short sighted and borderline asinine. This summer was huge for us and as it stands now we are probably a playoff team next season and are literally one player, and a year of player development away from being a serious threat for years to come. I'm pretty sure that's where Henny said he wanted us to be 4 years ago, so things are actually right on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicman28 295 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 Brandon Ingram looks like he could break at any moment So did KD when he got into the league. Wouldn't worry about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicblue 315 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 I don't think either of KD or KG looked anywhere near as frail as Brandon Ingram, and I'm not worried about it...he plays in LA not Orlando Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
