I watched a few of them cause I was trying to see who they were praising over Colin Sexton

also Texas played Bama that year and he was not impressive just a bunch of put backs
He had good games. That team fell apart as the season went on. Their guards weren't great and they lost one of their best players because of leukemia. Bamba also played next to an upperclassman in the front court who was going to eat into his touches. You're judging him off the handful of games you watched.

Isn’t that what everyone does when they give an opinion on a player?

Naw, Bamba is raw as fukk, he has to be developed. Can't blame the Magic for resigning Vucci Mane, he had an insane season and now there is a logjam at the position. Hell if I were Brooklyn I would trade for him, I think he has more upside than Jarett Allen at least defensively.

Since they had Issac Gordon And Vucci already it never made any sense to draft him when they needed (and still do) a legit threat at point guard. All these centers and forwards they are drafting and not one person in the front office realizes that ok big men need a good or great point guard in order for them to shine at their best. Maybe one day Orlando will finally figure it out.

When he was drafted Vuc was on the trade block for what like 2 seasons. With an expiring contract coming I saw the need as well same with Aaron Gordon. That’s why we’ve had this log jam at the 4/5 . Now that we got that out the way we starting signing some guards Fultz Ross MCW (:huhldup:)

I can’t explain the Aminu signing though:manny:
Makes me think someone getting traded :jbhmm:

Im a Magic fan. I wanted Trae or Doncic. Once both were snatched away Bamba was the best prospect on the board. Not the best for imediate impact but the highest upside. Hes a project. We knew that when we drafted him. I didnt expect much from him for at least 2 years. The alarming thing however is hes not showing anything. Like I dont even see slight flashes. Im concerned but its still early in his career.

My good man, I am never one to shy away from a mature conversation on the splendid topic of... spawts. That being the case, a true man of high regard must not risk bifurcating this wonderful thread on the ineptitude of the Magic FO by discussing matters of the new york knickerbockers.

Now, in another thread that is on topic; I'll definitely have a gentlemanly discourse with you in due time.

Take care, ole chap.

Imagine if y’all would’ve drafted Collin Sex
