hootie249 297 Report post Posted July 20 33 minutes ago, fan for too long 2 said: Do you think DJ, if Canadian, would have made the team? He is going to play for the Magic, no matter who is injured or not. That is the dna of this franchise. If we have a vet, no matter how crappy they are, they get minutes I think the big thing is he doesn't need the minutes. Of course he will get them but as a long time vet he is good either way. A guy like Theo Maledon would need minutes because he is trying to stay in the league and prove he belongs. And as far as Franz and his shot, all the good forwards from the last 20 years usually took 3 to 5 years to develop a makeable 3 point range. I'm not talking about the shooters who come into the league with it like Trey Murphy or Doug McDermot. I'm talking about the great two way forwards like Paul George or Kawhi. Even Lebron. They were just flat out great at scoring and slowly moved their range outwards. Most of those guys and other lesser forwards like Gordon Hayward and big guards like Jaylen Brown took years to get their shot.He has to learn on the way it to not let it mess with his other game. He does everything else well enough to make up for a poor shooting night. Just can't have more 1-15 moments, it will shake his confidence. Just go to the basket more and if it's being defended pass. And soon we will have the shooters to make the decision easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
