    Complaining about Cole after that game specifically is WILD. I was more scared that anyone other than Cole was going to shoot.

    He's a similar archetype but he plays defense which'll likely get him on the floor a lot sooner. Until I see Jett make an impact in an NBA game I'm not factoring him in as a reason not to draft somebody. Plus you really can't ever have enough 6'5+ guys who can pass/dribble/shoot.

    To be honest at this stage of the season every game feels massive.

    Yea tbf it wasn't a good game for my "the xs and os are fine" take to follow.

    Just checked the other scores. Somehow we got lucky and the Cavs, Pacers and 76ers all lost.

    Deserved to lose. The lack of effort on the glass was depressing. Thought Paolo was the worst player on the floor honestly. Terrible defense, terrible rebounding, terrible shot selection. Without Cole that would have been a blow out.

    Jonathan Wasserman's latest mock has us getting Jakobe Walter at pick 19. That'd be a great result for us I think.

    We've discussed this before iirc but personally I think the xs and os are fine and it's just the lack of offensive talent involved in the actions that makes them easier to guard than they otherwise would be.

    If you haven't watched the first 2 Mind the Game podcasts you owe it to yourself as a basketball fan. Magic fans specifically should watch the section at the end of episode 2 about inverted pick and roll because we're going to watch (and have already been watching) Paolo run it for the next decade. And it highlights just how lethal having a great movement shooter would be for our offense as a 2 man game with Paolo.

    We could really use this win tonight because I have very little hope that our peers drop games.

    2-9 is insane doomer stuff. We're a better team than Memphis, Portland, Charlotte and Chicago. If we take care of business that should be 4 wins minimum. Then I'd fancy us to pick up at least a couple more wins from the rest. 6-5 is a reasonable prediction and still feels like it might be selling this team short. Side note: I'm rooting for Milwaukee. If they've got the 2 seed sewn up that last week we might be playing bench lineups in those 2 games. They're kind of blowing it right now though...

    Besides the obvious top guys who are all kind of up at the top specifically because teams believe they have the highest ceilings I'll say Ulrich Chomche. I don't know much about him to be honest but he's young, athletic, super long played off the radar in Africa so possible scope for growth with better coaching, flashed some skills beyond just being a rim protecting big. But that's kind of a "mystery box" pick because I've never actually seen him play meaningful minutes in a basketball game.

    They'll probably turn around and demolish us on Friday too.

    Man Yves Missi went missing in the loss to Clemson. Heard some rumbles he's dealing with and playing through a back injury but back injuries for bigs also doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence..

    I guess the silver lining is he makes the money of a bench big and we might want to play JI at the 5 in closing lineups but his inconsistency this season has been disappointing after last year where he was the clear 3rd best player on the team.
