    Beyond the injury troubles, and beyond his lack of a three, the very low TS% is what is interesting to me. That is very strange. Like jmmagicfan, I love Kelle’s leadership and cerebral approach, I’m just not sure he’s more than a third pg for us past this summer. Like a Haslem bench coach/player.

    “5. Have the (very good) Orlando Magic evolved beyond Markelle Fultz? Fultz averaged 14 points last season and hit 47% on midrangers. He even shot 27-of-87 -- 31% -- on 3s. Defenses sagged way off of Fultz, but he made up for it by eating up space with slippery zig-zag moves and hesitation dribbles -- and threading slick interior passes from weird angles. Fultz becoming a back-end starting point guard didn't seem unfeasible. Fultz's place on the Magic now seems precarious. Fultz has missed half the season because of knee issues, and the Magic moved on without him. He's a backup now; Orlando's revamped starting five -- Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr. -- is plus-56 in 191 minutes. (Banchero gets better and more well-rounded every night -- a budding superstar.) Harris -- Fultz's replacement -- doesn't do much heavy lifting, but he's a threat from deep and defends hard. That's all Orlando needs with Wagner, Banchero and Suggs handling the ball. That group with Cole Anthony in Harris' spot is one of Orlando's most intriguing lineups. (Harris left Orlando's rout of the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night early with a sore right foot.) Fultz is duplicative on bench units. Anthony and Joe Ingles split ballhandling duties in those lineups, and the Magic might keep one of Wagner and Banchero on the floor when the games really matter. Fultz just isn't that useful away from the ball: He has backslid to 38% on midrangers and is 1-of-11 on 3s. Fultz plays hard and makes small positive plays -- extra passes, hustle rebounds, flare screens. He's a popular teammate. His role grows murkier as the Magic surge.” https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/39774748/lowe-anthony-edwards-special-running-phoenix-here-come-houston-rockets Lowe has more on Suggs and Isaac being insane defenders, but this is relevant given our discussion earlier this week.

    Forgive me for not reading this whole thread, but anyone like Reeves from UK in the 2nd?

    Agree. I’m pulling for Kelle to finish the year strong. I didn’t realize the pick we gave to Philly became Maxey. That stings a bit.

    Our second unit of Cole, Kelle and Joe have to give us more. Those three guys combined for 2 total points in the first half.

    Fultz legitimately just refused to take the corner three, resulting in a turnover. Not good.

    NBA free agents I'd like us to consider signing this summer: Jrue Holiday (P.O.) D. Russell M. Monk G. Allen T. Jones Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope I like the idea of starting two guards who can drain the three alongside Franz and Paulo. I don't trust Harris long-term, but our real weakness right now is in our bench. I don't see how we roll with Kelle and Cole next year.

    I'm not sure why Whitmore dropped. He was near the top of my list all last season. He's been great for the Rockets.
