Watching the game from last night.

Is it safe to assume that Speights should take Biyombo’s minutes?

The Magic are listing Elfrid Payton as questionable and D.J. Augustin as out for tomorrow's game against the Bulls.

No. We need Biz to protect the rim and rebound. Both situational players. To be honest Biz needs to play better than he has so far. His moving screens and silly mistakes need to be cut right down. I can still see his defence winning us a game or two. Speights is a blessing to have on the bench. The front office has done very well

I have a sneaky suspicion that Wes Iwundu was drafted with the idea of him becoming a PG, and that we may see him in this roll the next few days. He is a surprisingly good ball handler and defender, and shoots better than EP.  His length is exceptional and thrived in PnR situations in college. While also a more than capable passer, his court vision isn't at Elfrid's level. BUT I dont think hes that far off. I wouldn't be surprised if Wes is considered our PG of the future by seasons end.

Yeah i don't want him.  Just wanted to talk about it

How about Philly only wanting a 2nd rounder for Okafor?

Vogel did mention him in his post game press conference.

Pg of the future is very unlikely.

I like how everyone is like "wow, Gordon is so much better at 4." As if that has any impact on him backpedaling to the three point line and drilling shots like Ray Allen in the finals.  

Love it. AG and Fournier look so focused this year

He did a pretty decent job on Aaron. The 3 point shooting is great but the real benefit of the improvement is the spacing and allowing Aaaron to blow by defenders.

I just think we are in a shoot, pass, dribble league. Teams are looking to draft players with those skills.
