The Boss 129 Report post Posted July 14, 2019 Bit of a weird angle, and not that I think it's true, but do you think there is any chance the FO actually viewed Okeke's injury as a positive? It seems we are trying to build on last season and come back hard with the same group and not having to blood another rookie would be good for our overall record (as pointed out a while back, rookies very rarely contribute to wins). I hope it wasn't a reason we actually passed on NAW after every mock had us taking him. I think we got a really good player in Okeke so I'm not too fussed but it was just something I was thinking this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Fultz ends up a stud or even a decent starter, Orlando will quickly become a major storyline. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyce_1 311 Report post Posted July 14, 2019 Man...if Fultz hype is real.....what do you project our record to be? Does he start? I believe Caron in that Fultz is healthy but I doubt he starts for us right away. The big thing is our bench becomes instantly better. With an improved bench and already set rotation, that should help us off to a good start that we can sustain. I think we get +.500 again and 5/6 seed. If we can avoid our usual terrible January, we'll be in good shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Magic 1,224 Report post Posted July 15, 2019 If Fultz is fit and able to play fully healthy people forget he was UNANIMOUSLY number 1. We have struck the luck we need. Let's see what happens. But this sounds positive for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 15, 2019 Here's the problem with the Fultz hype. Even if he's great now, he could relapse. The concern was never about what he looks like after a period of rest, it's what he'll look like after a period of heavy work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we got a really good player in Okeke so I'm not too fussed but it was just something I was thinking this morning. I mean it’s not like whenever we drafted at 16 was gonna come in right away, start and play of ton of minutes. So I don’t think him being injured was really an issue to them (though I probably wouldn’t say it was a positive). Okeke has pressure because NAW, as most on here thought, looks legit. Yes, it’s just summer league—but what are you gonna say when it’s the regular season? There’s a reason a lot of people on here wanted him. Idk why it would be a shock or surprise that he succeeds in the NBA. If we had someone in SL right now averaging 28 a game and draining every shot from deep we’d be beyond hyped about it even if it was just SL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So according to this study, the Piston center(Drummond),Grizzlies center(Gasol), Knicks SG(Hardaway)and Blazers SF(Harkless) are the ones at the top with the facial Beauty in this South China Lab study. Yet you have Vooch, Fournier, AG, Durant, Blake, Embiid, Nurcik, Valanciunas, Ingles, Mitchell and Rubio at the bottom. Weird stuff. Not to worry. Who cares what the players look like? It’s the fans that matter, and judging by those of us in this forum, we have the best looking fans by far! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
