You can’t really have good vets in roster spots 10-15 because of money and playing time unless they are ring chasing

Orlando are so depressing to watch. You can't even really see a route to improving for them unless Fultz really does just magically turn into Wade next year and Isaac gets healthy and hits his absolute best case scenario. They're bad, but the east is so terrible that still means perpetual 8 seeds.

It was strange to see Fultz shooting “normally” and still not being very good

Yeah he’s def an nba guard

Still plenty of time for him to be v good

Yea once again NBA thread being too knee jerk with young players. Fultz absolutely has a ton of potential and he's essentially in his second season. He's great at getting to the basket and finding guys, plus he's just so big and fast. Sure his 3 is janky as gently caress but there's time to develop that. Magic got a steal with him.

Steal idk

His contract is enormous. It was a decent gamble

It's not the craziest contract but when you consider all the effort and energy that went into securing barnes (trade, handshake deal on an opt out, etc) while the rest of the roster looked like it does it just doesn't make sense.

Edit: the main problem with Vlade is he hit a big fat honkin reset button on the team every six months so he would get credit for having the wherewithal to undo his mistakes. It was just a lot of mistakes to undo, all the time

Maybe

Looking at their stats they could not rebound at all and as I guess ??? The nominal power forward that is on him a bit. Also the fact that teams shoot very against the Kings. Maybe he played small forward more

I’d say that’s more of not having a nba caliber two way big on the roster. You need people to play defense near the rim at some point . Richaun homes and Harry Giles isn’t going to get it done in the nba

I don’t know I don’t watch them much since they are west coast

Richaun Holmes was very very good for us and why we managed to hang in early in the season when everyone was getting hurt. He's not a great defensive big and basically kind of like a mini Montrez for us, but he was valuable.

I love Giles but he's not a great defender. Too skinny to hold off bigger guys and lost all his athleticism so can't play above the rim. He'll get some heady stops or hustle plays on that end but a lot of the time he looks outmatched down there.

Dedmon couldn't do anything and part of our resurgence came from Alex Len having a pulse and a big body

Yeah I specifically said “two way” because as you mention Rochaun can fill it up

i think they’re gonna try way too hard to prove they’re “back” and either end up with a bunch of injuries or winning 54 games but getting knocked out in the first round because they’re gassed

I can’t see them having a point differential to get to 54

They have klay Thompson

Even if they get their Drating down it was still 113 this year

Klay is fine but he’s not getting that down to 107 or whatever

And that is assuming they can get their ortg back above 110

Teams play better with their best player

Maybe . Klay will improve their offense and defense but Wiggins is going to play 2000 + minutes

They have the worst offense in the league and the 26th defense

There isn’t much there besides klay and Steph
