Odin 137 Report post Posted July 9, 2019 Everyone does remember that Isaac only played like 2 summer league games last year, right? We saw some good stuff from Bamba, and some stuff that he still needs to improve. We already have a good idea of what he can and cannot do. Why create extra risk of injury if it is not needed? He is just coming back from a leg fracture as a 7 footer. (Am I crazy or something?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has plenty of time. Rolls eyes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like that a deeper team means we can manage the usage. Hopefully it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It still isn't perfect, but helps paint another picture of defense. Isn't perfect?!? Yeah, any measure that says Vuc is a better defender than Aaron Gordon isn't even close to perfect!

It doesn't matter what Bamba does against centers that aren't playing in the NBA next year. Playing in these types of tournaments just takes up time he could be using to do something else. Just because you're not physically watching him doesn't mean he's not working on his game. You don't have any information. You don't know if he was invited to work out with Isaac and Gordon. You don't know if embiid grabbed him to workout together. You're just complaining that you don't get to watch him take spot up threes against Chris Silva. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would all be fine and true if the Magic weren’t equally as over cautious in the regular season too. It’s not just a summer league thing. If a guy goes out with a limp on our team we all know damn well he’s missing time. Doesn’t matter if it’s summer league or regular season or whatever else.

I guess the training staff knows what it's doing though. Basically everybody was healthy last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow I did not know that was what I was thinking. You must be clairvoyant. Seriously u have no clue. I’m talking about the way players are pampered these days. And the way they want to be pampered or are forced to be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
