I woulda planned on keeping Birch and picked a PG instead of Mo. I really like his game as a 2nd stringer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta remember it's a job and not everyone is super amazing at their job compared to the field just because they have a position in the field. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just a regular Magic fan 38 Report post Posted September 2, 2019 I would have preferred it if our guys would have stayed home and worked on their game. I think that would benefit us more this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still a little amazed that Boston went with kanter over him. They have kemba, Tatum, Brown, and Hayward. They have smart who can sometimes provide supplementary scoring. They have a few rookies that collectively should provide 1 other decent offensive player per game. They don't need kanter. They need a guy who can set screens, defend the pick and roll, and rim protect. Boston is not a good example. Khem is really just a big forward, Boston has many forwards. They needed a true center. While Kanter is known to have poor defense he is a near 7 footer over 255 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does all the things you want a center to do despite the fact he's 6'9. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khem does things that Boston hopes Theis, Williams and Williams will do for them. Going back to last year, most Boston fans have been saying the team lacks size. Danny must have felt the same, i stand by what i said, Kanter has the height and weight of a true center. Even if he has been benched for poor defense and screens, he has the athleticism and size to do better, it's why teams keep playing him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the point of size when it doesn't correspond to positive impact on the defensive end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he's the only guy better than decent on that team. I would love to see that Fournier all this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
