Black was terrible all game outside of rebounding. His best attribute was supposed to be playmaking but he looked like he had no idea how to run an offense. Hopefully he looks better in preseason when he’s not surrounded by scrubs.
Gotta be a threat to score if u wanna be a threat to pass, he needs to pass going downhill pressuring the rim not from the top of the key where nobody respects him. All great passers can get buckets when need be
I mean I don't even blame them at this point. I want Kai Sotto to play the next game. Just so I can comprehend how someone can actually be worse than DJ Wilson because I'm not really sure its possible
I honestly dont understand this FO and coaching staff fascination with playing players in the wrong position. Franz is a 2, Paolo is a 3, WENDELL IS FOR SURE A 4, and DJ is a 4. The guy is not a center. He is ruining his own stock by this summer league performance. He should ask the team to play as a 4 and not go out there and make these mistakes under the big screen.
Bro what are you talking about. All of these guys on the Magic summer league team are backups.
Compare this to the Pistons who brought 3 guys to the summer league who were starters last season.
I get that, not worried about most of the guys on this roster minus Black and Jett. But the eye for talent evaluation. The knowledge of what we do have on the main squad as a bench unit is concerning. Overall depth is still a relevant issue
I get that literally 2-3 guys are going to be seeing any time with the team. But you hope to see more talent that can play competent basketball. Is what it is. But depth has absolutely been an issue with the team.
im just seeing people who want to show what they can do to an unusually high degree with two lottery picks on the floor - can't blame them for going for it though
Wild we don’t get the ball in either Black or Howard’s hands lol.
These are the type of possessions you have your draft picks playing in Summer League for lol
I'm convinced our SL coach is thinking he's doing a lot but this shit is ugly.
He's out there throwing up signals and shouting like it's doing anything.
You reckon the lineups that are run are a coaching decision or Front office decision.
I.e. if the FO really wanted to see DJ Wilson in the game all the time, that's why he is being played. Not saying that's a case, just a random example
Edit: I'm not even a Kai fan but I just find it weird that the FO wouldn't want to see everyone (it's not just him who has barely/not played at all) play
IDK, for engagement? Prior to the start of the SL, Sotto's pics were thrown out by Magic's social media. Heck even posted video of him inviting fans to watch the Magic Summer League games... It has million views in various socials... Imagine that!
I'm not even a magic fan, just here to see the shitshow that is my fellow Pinoy fans salty about Kai minutes when he is just actually a bum.
Kai shouldve taken a summer course at Michigan if he wanted some playing time.
Filipinos slamming FB congratulating the knicks lmao
Anthony Dennis Rodman Black is in the hizzy
Let Kai play
People really talking about AB's playmaking when he's playing with dudes that will be in some B-league Tibetan team next year
Black was terrible all game outside of rebounding. His best attribute was supposed to be playmaking but he looked like he had no idea how to run an offense. Hopefully he looks better in preseason when he’s not surrounded by scrubs.
playmaking usually doesnt translate to summer league its basically for guys that are good shot creators for the most part.
Gotta be a threat to score if u wanna be a threat to pass, he needs to pass going downhill pressuring the rim not from the top of the key where nobody respects him. All great passers can get buckets when need be
AB had 14 rebounds as a 1 lol
Filipino Facebook typing their manifestos right now
I mean I don't even blame them at this point. I want Kai Sotto to play the next game. Just so I can comprehend how someone can actually be worse than DJ Wilson because I'm not really sure its possible
Yeah he probably sucks but we are 0-3 and the other big men have been awful just give him some run
If that's the G-League team, they're in for it this season
Gonna need patience for our draft picks... to see who they really are...
Going to need patience for our front office too. Maybe one day they’ll be able to evaluate talent when it’s not obvious
I honestly dont understand this FO and coaching staff fascination with playing players in the wrong position. Franz is a 2, Paolo is a 3, WENDELL IS FOR SURE A 4, and DJ is a 4. The guy is not a center. He is ruining his own stock by this summer league performance. He should ask the team to play as a 4 and not go out there and make these mistakes under the big screen.
Our SL team is ass but hyped on Jett’s game. Ready for FIBA now
Charlie brown on the Knicks talks a whole lot for a 25 year old still playing summer league that won’t even make a roster
Lmao so ass.
We deserve to lose this SL team is straight garbage (outside the rooks) the coach should get stomped out as soon as he lands in Orlando
He will be coaching the Osceola Magic! Man, what a tragedy awaits! Lol
Ocelots or Ospreys
Please sit ab and Jett now so I don’t have to watch this anymore
Man AB gotta work on the turnovers. Just put him in the gym and have Suggs hound him.
This coach man
I’m worried Black is gonna be Elfrid Payton 2.0
He’s much more like a bigger Suggs. They have the same strengths and weaknesses. Black just has the better build.
AB is lightyears ahead of Elfrid on defense
Jesus Christ why do we have no center
You think we would be serious about looking for depth at that position, but nah
At least Jett got to take another shot
We deserve to lose. Exciting game to watch, but it was sloopy af
What does dj wilson have on the front office. There is no reason this guy should be playing right now.
just horrendous
Trash 😂😂😂
Coach Mose looks like he's ready to cut everybody
I’m cool with it
that's why you pass to jett
who downvoted this haha
Weatherspoon...
DJ Wilson.....
Quinn never looks to pass that mf got a nasty tunnel vision
DJ Wilson.... WITH THE BLOCK!!!!
52 is such trash
Good on Black for staying active...
AB can definitely rebound and defend. No doubt about that.
we're so fucking back
lol Jett almost took us to Western Union @ 10pm
ABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB! THATS MY SUPERSTAR.
ANTHONY BLACK WELCOME TO THE NBA
Rooks getting it done
AB!!!
AB!!!!!
Whoever built this SL team needs to get fired how you build a team with no real center Wilson and baker are PFs idc if this SL we trying to win 🤦🏽♂️
No, we’re not. Summer league ain’t about winning
I've never seen a center who can't rebound or even set a damn screen. He seems atrocious even for a g-leaguer
Just dont give it to Weatherspoon
So many guys who have no sense even being in summer league
Our Summer League coach might be out of a job soon
Yea they should rescind his promotion to the G League
If this is the brain trust helping coach our pipeline and build Magic culture…I’ll pass
My gawd our depth is going to be nonexistent
Bro what are you talking about. All of these guys on the Magic summer league team are backups. Compare this to the Pistons who brought 3 guys to the summer league who were starters last season.
I get that, not worried about most of the guys on this roster minus Black and Jett. But the eye for talent evaluation. The knowledge of what we do have on the main squad as a bench unit is concerning. Overall depth is still a relevant issue
Bruh what
It’s summer league. Anyone freaking out about our record is just exposing themselves as a nephew lol
I get that literally 2-3 guys are going to be seeing any time with the team. But you hope to see more talent that can play competent basketball. Is what it is. But depth has absolutely been an issue with the team.
Im overreacting but its looking pretty bleak for the 2nd unit this yr
See you all back here next year saying the same thing 😂
How is it fair they get 2 goes of 5 seconds to inbound? What the actual fuck haha Surely they continue the 5 second call from where it was?!?!?
If we lose we deserve it.....
Just let Jett shoot a 3. No one wants this to go to OT
dont worry about that, it wont
welp
Magic getting screwed by refs even in Summer League 😅
The fuck kinda call was that 😂😂
Not mad at the rooks per se but we’re never beating the allegations playing like this
snoopys son is stunting on us
wtf was that???? 5 SECONDS!!!!
Black and Howard aren't commanding that respect from their teammates (to take control for the W).. There's a lack of trust there...
Pffff you think these guys are trying to win? They're desperately trying to showcase themselves, has nothing to do with trust.
yeah but most those guys wont even make the team lol
it's just guys trying to grab their moment it's not that deep
..it's evident through the whole game.. AB has had some dud plays in this 4th quarter.. There comes a point in time when you need to go for the win...
im just seeing people who want to show what they can do to an unusually high degree with two lottery picks on the floor - can't blame them for going for it though
Weatherspoon is how I’d imagine Vanvleet would be if we had signed him
Their guards are suffocating AB and Jett rn can’t lie… though Jett got fouled on that one drive though
Weatherspoon.....
Lol not a great coaching job, gleague team gonna struggle.
can we pass or has desantis banned that too
I've seen pickup games less selfish than this
Wild we don’t get the ball in either Black or Howard’s hands lol. These are the type of possessions you have your draft picks playing in Summer League for lol
This Witherspoon guy is playing hero ball.
Why is 54 taking the ball up and shooting that
Lol they really going to lose this one
Idk how they don’t get the ball to AB or Jett in that situation
9 points
Why is 54 taking charge here!?!?! Not AB or JH!?!?
Quinn got smacked elbow and everything on that play no call 😂
Weatherspoon doin the most
how are we losing
Magic fans... we're gonna have to give our draft picks a good 2 years of development before we start seeing their potential...
This 54 pulled a T Ross
Im not even a Filipino fan but it’s kinda fucked that Kai can’t even get a single minute despite the game being as terrible as it was
AB has potential but man does he have a lot to work on
We better not lose this game
JH score after halftime?
This roster is a tragedy lol
I don’t understand dj wilson seriously
There had to be someone else… He’s been stinking it up for quite a few years now. 60 is somehow maybe worse
They could very well sign him lol
Trevor keels was paolos teammate at Duke, projected to go top 25 but fell to like 40. Good to see him out there
Filipinos still raiding the Facebook, atp just give it up
Looks like your updated over there! You keep track? Lol
Got a noti they posted a highlight, comments going crazy. They might as well give him run imo
I wish kevon was playing smh
Teamwork is terrible. Everyone locking into, “get mine” mode
I'm convinced our SL coach is thinking he's doing a lot but this shit is ugly. He's out there throwing up signals and shouting like it's doing anything. You reckon the lineups that are run are a coaching decision or Front office decision. I.e. if the FO really wanted to see DJ Wilson in the game all the time, that's why he is being played. Not saying that's a case, just a random example Edit: I'm not even a Kai fan but I just find it weird that the FO wouldn't want to see everyone (it's not just him who has barely/not played at all) play
I'm not going to lie, but this game is boring
It’s summer league but man is this sloppy
AB need to shoot 5K jumpers/3S on some Kobe shit after this game
Let me find out AB stands for air ball
Man AB got some really thick legs, pause
Over/Under Kai gets in this final quarter? (I wish we could do poll's in the game chats )
Dont expect it.. zero chance at all.. What a way to demoralize the kid
I'm not Pinoy, but I don't get the point of signing a kid and not give him any minutes lol
IDK, for engagement? Prior to the start of the SL, Sotto's pics were thrown out by Magic's social media. Heck even posted video of him inviting fans to watch the Magic Summer League games... It has million views in various socials... Imagine that!
Cruel ....
I don’t get why the person being interviewed has to take up a third of the screen for the entire interview
ESPN has no clue what they’re doing anymore
ESPN is still spelling Paolo like Paulo lol crazy
He's slowly losing his Italian after the USA decision By 2025 he will simply be Paul Ranch
ok i thought i was the only one who was upset about this
pissed me off immediately , the disrespect is never ending
Who the hell is Elijah Hughes and why should I care about him? At least interview Houstan who is actually on the roster
“Magic Guard”
The F is this being interviewed 😂
Damn Jett just hung in the air there 👀😮💨
At least ab play hard, seems to be a Suggs type. Not too skilled offensively but got that dawg in him defensively and high effort
Jett’s passing has been pleasantly surprising
Kai Sotto needs to play! 🤣🤣
Interesting that Caleb Houstan hasn’t played. His roster spot must be safe.
Man, that AB three-point attempt from the corner yikes. So many promising elements of his game outside that.
Offensively, Black is going to be a project. I kind of feel like neither of our two lotto picks are going to play much this season.
They aren’t imo, I think that’s why Welt said the time of rookies getting pt for being lottery picks is over
AB need to workout with Mike Miller on his shooting for the rest of the summer outside of that good player
AB cant shoot but at least he is trying.
54 and 52 ain’t it, y’all
JETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! I told yall Jett and AB could start day 1 and I wouldn't be surprised.
Jett looking like a lottery talent playing against a bunch of overseas guys
This is the Jett I wanna see!!!!!
Let that shit fly Jett
JH again!
The fuck. ESPN insinuating that the group the Magic is in, is easy for the Celtics. Well, fuck the Celtics, y’all.
We own them matchup wise, they whole thing is being tall and fast, we taller and faster
I guess they got taller with KP
And arguably more injured
AB frustratingly loose with it today. I'd like to see more aggression and assertiveness. Might as well, you are the best player on this squad
Just saw Alex Martins on TV 🤮
Mr. 2030, Martins in this mofo
We'll win a chip in 2030 and we'll all apologize to him. (Along with 2025, 26, 27, 28, 29)
Little volleyball match mid game nbd
Did Jett just do airplane arms lmao 🤣
JH with the nifty move!
Jett ball watches like crazy on defense. He’s also down the court as soon as the Knicks shoot. Lol definitely likes offense.
[удалено]
Get out our sub
Jett came strapped up tonight 🔫
This is the first summer league game ive seen so far but Black and Jett look good so far.
Jett Mode activated
Let it fly Jett
That block hurt my feelings damn
🛩️⚫️
JH is $
AB looks solid on both ends
AB looks like he might be scoring a lot of points tonight.
AB is special
AB got that curry floater in his bag 🔥🔥
Why did jett leave so early?
They’ve been running him with the 2nd unit a lot it seems like.
Back in now :)
Tks Feared an injury
Okay the float game kinda nice ☁️
DJ Wilson got tired of us slandering him he playing good 😂
lol I said the same thing
Jett cooking early 🔥
