Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted October 2, 2018 Bamba looked pretty good in limited time - Do we have a stretch 5? Perhaps..... Gordon was pushing it again trying to be an Allstar Ross rocked Point guard is up in the air Vucevic on offense was solid, but the usual on D Fournier off night I'm very concerned about Issac’s ankles JSimms struggled I’d like to see more Frazier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtDan2012 201 Report post Posted October 2, 2018 What we need is for our 2 kids to stay healthy. JIsaac needs to stay on the floor. Bamba is a rook, but he already looks very enticing. If he can keep himself out of foul trouble then he'll make an impact in his 1st year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not like I'm expecting their skills to become overt immediately or even mid way through the season. I'm speaking on the span of about 4 to 6 seasons. Its not like I'm expecting everyone to peak to Durant, Cousins, Paul, Davis standards. I expect them to peak to their own standard and for the Magic to develop a strategy to implement against using these elite skills. It just that these players should fill every chink they can through their years on this roster. If injury or personal matters are a factor, I understand. But currently, the top general managers in the league are ruthless. Especially Danny Ainge so the Magic need to be ruthless with players themselves but not in the context of panic trades. As I haven't watched a full season in over two years since I'm busy and have been discouraged from disappointment, I've missed out on some growth of Fournier..so I might agree. I might be being a bit unreasonable on my judgement of him. Ok you said Fournier shot bad shots I disagreed You said only 50/40/90 players should shoot those shots I said that's absurd. there's only been something like 14 high usage 50/40/90 seasons in history. You said it's not absurd you just want us to have Hall of famers so we can win championships. I said it's unreasonable to expect guys to be HoFs. If you break down our discussion your points don't really make sense for a normal flow of logic. Fournier is a good shooter. He's not special. It doesn't make sense to judge him based on a Klay Thompson standard. He's just not that guy. But he can be who he is and the shots he attempted we're also fine. Those aren't mutually exclusive statements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always playing out of control. He forces even worse then Evan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was talking about briscoe. Grant is basically a marginally better Mack. He fits our general philosophy but we were never really counting on him to be anything more than a backup. He's just a really safe guy for 16mpg. Briscoe is an unknown. Tonight was encouraging but we don't really know if he's an NBA player yet. Need to see consistency and performance against better players before we freak out. It is still preseason and that applies to good and bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mack1085 57 Report post Posted October 2, 2018 Is it possible Isaac hurt his ankle on the Bamba highlight over Embiid? Watch the highlights that are posted. It doesn’t really look like anything but he takes a hop right after and then I think he came out shortly after Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted October 2, 2018 It kills me when I see Saric doing well because he was ours but we gave him up to get Elfrid Payton who will be in Europe in a couple of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
