    Most of ABs and Jett’s minutes will come from blowouts against below .500 teams. Tristan is basically a 2nd year veteran with all of his game experience in college, so he’s got to get more minutes especially backing up Fran.

    • @philstewart345
      @philstewart345 Місяць тому

      Umm no! AB and Jett will be in the rotation, not Tristan yet. Cole Anthony, Black, Jett, JI and Mo.Wagner will round out the bench.

    • @jefferyrandall8030
      @jefferyrandall8030 Місяць тому

      If Anthony Black is playing garbage time in blowouts then the Magic got a problem on their hands. No way you draft a guy 6th overall and let Markelle go just to have him play garbage minutes in his second season. The same basically can be said about Jett Howard.

      Good question. So first it comes down to me only having this hat and not owning a 2009 one. I need to get one though. The 1995 hat was an awesome gift from a coworker this past christmas and it still had the original tags on it, quickly becoming my favorite hat. So cool you got to go to the 95 finals. Very cool. Thank you for the support on our show as well. Seriously appreciate that you support us.
