He worked with Tatum and Durant last summer.

I truly believe the reason coaches dont call timeout in final secs because they have no offensive creativity. They will call timeout and bs like "okay paolo iso"

Doncic. He needs to learn how to get to the rim without losing the ball. Post up but also pass from there.

I like the Luka pick, mastering the ability to play at your pace, never be sped up and use angles/leverage/strength/size and craftiness to become unstoppable on offense.

Like did we even draft 2 guards?
It blows my mind. The only problem I have with Mosley. There is some sort of cohort effect that drives Mosley's decision making. Oh well, I trust Mosley.

Hopefully we have 2 new starting Guards next year.

You really aren't sold on Suggs? All indicators point to him being a starter

The kids are in a perfect position. Stomp Cleveland Friday night and then correct their mistakes from game 5 and win in Cleveland.

What is this 2022? Why isn't Jalen allowed the room to grow in the playoffs like Paolo or Franz? He's also guarding the teams best player. That ish is hard.

Nope.. its a condition from yesteryears where we never looked forward to the playoffs but instead hibernated till the workout vids of these nba prospects came online.

So this might be the last after effect where we are excited who we draft to develop in the future and who we are bidding against in FA

Agreed, by many metrics Suggs is a top 35 player overall now even if he isn't top 35 offensively.

Suggs is locked a starting position.

Paul George if we did bring him in would move Gary Harris out.

4/5 players can play make at that point. We don’t need a point guard

Suggs will start again next season, and we'll see another jump in his game.

I love this team. We have some guys that are mature beyond their years and this will help us in building that winning culture as such a young team. Everyone that comes to Orlando will know what they are assimilating into.

Great to see Banchero step up in a big game. Bodes well for the future.
