ball junkie 277 Report post Posted July 20, 2023 According to OMD …they say you can’t spend time trying to develop everybody …so they listed 5 guys we should continue to develop …and 4 we should give up on . Players we should develop …Banchero duh, Franz duh, WCJ, Cole, Fultz Players we should not spend time developing …Chuma, Houston, Goga, Suggs Surprised to see Suggs name here but the author lists some pretty solid reasons why it might be time to move on from Suggs . https://orlandomagicdaily.com/2023/07/20/orlando-magic-young-players-develop-give/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats asinine behaviour You gotta read the article Jay …he wasn’t like give up on him …that he was gonna be caught in a numbers crunch with AB in the fold …Fultz entrenched at PG, AB can play the 1,2 or 3 …Cole flourishing in a 6th man role …unless he can beat out Gary Harris he’s looking at less minutes than last year …that he was the odd guard out .

AB looks like nothing but a point guard. And if Suggs can’t beat out Harris, trade him now. That’s really a low bar. Also Goga is a really good backup center, I don’t know what this guy is doing, talking out his azz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He brings a lot more to the table than Gary Harris does (+defense, +passing, +athleticism, +leadership) while the only thing Harris has on him is shooting. If Suggs increases his 3PT % at a good tick like he did from Year 1 (22%) to Year 2 (32%), you can bet he'll get the starter minutes and Gary Harris, whom has an expiring contract, is the odd man out. I think Suggs just needs to get up to 36% for him to take over the SG spot. If anything, we're keeping Gary Harris as insurance because the biggest question mark has always been Jalen's ability to stay healthy. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AB has shown zero ability to play off the ball. Unless he finds some kinda pull up game or 3pt. shot and have confidence in it. That could take a year or so.
