Is Paolo Banchero good enough to dig the Magic out the grave?

I’d even question the fit of Bol Bol. His offense isn‘t the problem, but dude sometimes look Wiseman lost out there on defense.
Oh I agree they don't necessarily compliment each other I'm just saying he's the only other player I like on the team lol. Everyone else seems expendable.

Thats because the coach doesnt know how to use him on Defense, especially when the lineup consist of Wagner, Banchero, Bol, and Carter...Basically 4 F/Cs and they play that lineup pretty often....would love to see the advanced analytics on that lineup

Nahhhh it’s more than just on the coach. Dude looks lost out there when it comes to even the basics of playing defense.

not saying your wrong, but just saying if we had a traditional 1 and 2 guard consistently in the lineup Bols defensive issues could be schemed appropriately. The whole team is out of wack defensively.

Kid is already a top 5 player at his position as a rookie. Been a while since we have seen that.

Spread Love - The Player Way

The Good version of Julius Randle.

This is what Lakers, Pelicans and Knicks fans thought that they had, but ended up getting the flea market version.

:wow:

think its a bit disingenuous to compare him to julius
this guy came out of college with vision, tighter handle, a midpost game, and range from 3. while also being taller, more explosive and just in general better shape.
literally he comes into the league playing near or better than PEAK julius randle of 2 years ago...which took julius 7 years to get to.
if someone enters the league doing practically everything better than another player who took more than half a decade to reach is it fair to even compare them.
thats like saying steph curry is a good version of mahmoud rauf. at some point if the differences are so pronounced off rip...it's a different animal entirely

Magic need a point guard. A real point guard. Last night Pablo was the best facilitator on the floor for Orlando. Suggs got the D but he ain’t no pg
