I think I like JI as part of the 2nd unit when he comes back but I'd like to see him / orchestrate with the starters too..... in some moments during the 2nd Quarter and for sure in the 4th Quarter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fixed. Agreed. Our starting 5 right now is best for winning. JI looked solid in his debut, but he even admitted he was gassed and he played about 1/4 of the game against G league competition. Ease him in, if we force it he will get hurt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ball junkie 277 Report post Posted January 12, 2023 Yeah waiting till Issac was ready was kinda a given …figured I wouldn’t have to say that since most guys here know some things about basketball …but we definitely have options …just was brainstorming in my mind the future dilemma Coach Mosley has …that’s why I put Issac in ….looking down the road not right now or the next week or two …and like I said …Issac gets back close to where he was he was top 3 in the league DPOY candidate …so I like my lineup better …insert smiley face lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So in that case i stand by JI in the starting lineup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted January 12, 2023 Personally, I don’t think a starting lineup that includes Franz/Paolo/Isaac/Wendell is ideal for rotations. Leaves our bench as Cole/Suggs/Harris/Bol/M. Wagner who are all undersized for the position they’d be asked to play. It’s not about who starts, but who finishes anyway. Would I love to roll out 10ish minutes of that tall trees lineup? Absolutely! I just don’t think it’s the right lineup dispersement with the roster as it is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Lergier 99 Report post Posted January 13, 2023 HERE WE GO AGAIN....................... Suggs is questionable for Friday's game versus the Jazz due to right ankle soreness. Suggs is questionable Friday due to a lingering ankle injury. He has seen limited minutes while coming off the bench in his last four appearances. If he can't suit up against the Jazz, Suggs' next chance to play is Sunday's matchup against Denver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ball junkie 277 Report post Posted January 13, 2023 My top 3 Magic players listed in order of importance and or team success/wins . 1 …Fultz 2 …Franz 3 …Banchero My reasoning ? …Check our record with Fultz starting and when he’s not ….Franz is Mr 4th quarter …dude is shooting over 50 percent from 3 in the last quarter of our games and you already know how adept he is at taking the ball to the hole …Banchero puts up numbers is a good player with all star potential and has shot the 3 better lately but still only at 31% for the season . How would you rank them ? …while waiting for tonight’s game … 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banchero our future MVP candidate 2. Wagner our future Al star 3 Carter Jr……though it’s a coin toss with Fultz I’m actually more inclined to agree with ball junkie. It’s hard to argue with the results if you are looking at team success as the criteria. Fultz really is the engine that drives the train. Banchero is the better scorer, but I think Franz is the better all-around player. I like Dell’s game a lot too. He’s a strong glue guy. 1 Fultz 2 Franz 3 Banchero 4 Carter I think this is the core you build around. I like quite a few of our other pieces, and I think Moe Wagner’s impact is much more than we see on the court. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
