Another great performance by Paolo who’s slow start is clearly behind him. Turns 21 tomorrow.

Fantastic win by the Magic (5-4) to stay above 0.500 and keep the Bucks from winning 15 straight.

Paolo has now had 4 great performances without Fultz playing. The ball being in his & Franz’s hands seems to produce winning bball.

    He’s awesome. And yes, I didn’t understand what they were doing at the beginning of the season, not putting the ball in his hands. Same for Franz Wagner.

    The biggest question with Fultz now is what can we get for him? Anyone willing to give a late first or will we settle for a second? Maybe a good expiring at the deadline.

      If I’m the Spurs I’m sending you some picks 100%, I’ve had my eyes on whichever of Fultz/Suggs/Black ended up being the odd man out from y’all since the draft. Was hoping it’d be Suggs, but Fultz would still be great for our team.

    SUPERSTAR. ALLSTAR. BEST IN CLASS. The Magic picked the 1st or 2nd best or top 3 in class in multiple classes starting in 2018, they missed bad in 2019, but then picked it back up in 2020 with Cole (top 3 in class) and afterwards. I also think AB and Jett both can become top 3 in their class when its all said and done.

    Magic are legit. I hope they seriously consider being in the hunt for any players they think they can get because Banchero and Wagner are real up and comers that are only getting better. Still probably a little ways off but the foundation is there (Carter is also a great young piece).
