He's so freaking strong, Joel, Vuc, and Jokic tried backing him down and he didn't budge. Smart too, He knows when teams go small he gets a ton of rim gravity cause they have to collapse on him.
He was the definition of consistency. His strength and position are so good. His willingness to pass but also get in the face of the opps bigs are why fans here in Orlando love him. Him Paolo and franz are gonna be electric together!
I don't see why not. Saying they don't have the talent compared to nine other teams in the East is kind of ridiculous. If one of their lottery picks evolves into a star they can catapult into the top 6, it's not even up for debate.
I drafted Wendell Carter Jr in Fantasy Basketball last season. I was not disappointed. The Magic got a nice squad; looking forward to their development
Man your videos are so good, if ppl liked understanding the game the way the like drama and hot takes, they'd be racking up millions of views. Really enjoyed this breakdown 🤝
He is more of a rim deterrent than what we think of as a rim protector. I just don’t think he will have huge block numbers, but he will have the same or similar effect.
If Suggs reaches anywhere near the hype he came in with and Palo and Franz are who we think they will be this could be the scariest young team in the league
Horace Grant 2.0. I really appreciate you making these videos. I’ve been the Orlando Magic fan since the beginning. I fell off in the off-season due to the nfl. I’m slowly coming back. I’m really excited for the team and it’s going to be interesting how the head coach uses these young players. So much front court depth.
If IIsaac and Fultz can come back healthy this season, the Magic are going to be dangerous. Lots of depth and young talent. If they stay healthy and all get rolling by the end of the season they could upset someone in the playoffs.
Dell is a great on ball defender but he doesn’t protect the paint that well as you mentioned. He’s not a poor paint defender either but he doesn’t exactly deter shots or get blocks. I think Orlando optimized him well Mo as the roaming shot blocker. Not sure how that works with Paolo but like you said if Isaac stays healthy that works beautifully, dare I say even better than it did with Mo.
This Magic team can be crazy good! They also have tons of assets and i expect them to make a trade soon. Just too much young talent and just too deep. I expect them to get a player and combine C. Anthony, Okeke, Bamba and Bulls pick for another player.. Maybe James Wiseman, if the Warriors can’t afford his extension.. If they draft Cam Whitmore in next years draft, this team is going places PG: Fultz, Suggs SG: Wagner, Harris SF: Whitmore, Houstan PF: Banchero, J. Isaac C: WCJ, Wiseman, BolBol that’s just the young talent. I’d expect them to sign a veteran SG and SF maybe somebody like Harrison Barnes and Trent Jr.
orlando can have all starters average 15+ ppg like toronto. dk how his stats will be with franz, paolo, kelle, and cole taking shots, but wcj impacts winning
Great video bro! Wendell could win this award if the Magic have a successful season. I think he’s a legit top 10 center already with great upside. Regarding your question he could become a better rim protector and if he stays healthy I believe he will.
Realistically Fultz might be a little high. I think 15 is probably best case scenario. But I think we see a of high teen scorers on this team. Paolo/Franz/Cole/Wendell all in the 16+ range. And then Suggs/Fultz in the 12+ range. Ross/Bamba/Isaac/Chuma/RJ/MW/ filling in from there They were 29th in PPG last year, lot of room for growth.
@Hoop Intellect Do you see Jonathan Isaac as more of a 3 or a 4? I said before all the injuries that he's Giannis' worst nightmare. His frame screams Small-Forward though. What say you?
I think Issac is more naturally a 4 now but with this roster it’s interchangeable and with his defensive versatility it makes him unique. Knocking down c&s threes will be big for him offensively, but again, if he looks anything like he did pre injury, Orlando has an easy T-10 defender.
Great analysis! I'm curious where you get the game film from? I'm trying to get into the basketball YT game and I don't know where to go to watch full games from last season. League Pass seems to delete the games after some time
League pass is kind of spotty. I was recently able to watch a good portion of last season’s games but it feels like that changes at times. If you go to the game box scores or the NBA.com stat pages you can pull up a lot of specific actions from last season!
He's so freaking strong, Joel, Vuc, and Jokic tried backing him down and he didn't budge. Smart too, He knows when teams go small he gets a ton of rim gravity cause they have to collapse on him.
i desperately wanna see a Fultz, Franz, JI, Paolo, WCJ lineup. the passing and just off-ball movement would just be so fun to watch
and defense
I hope one day Suggs and Cole Anthony will be in that lineup
i think they play: Fultz/Antony, Suggs, Franz, Paolo and Wendell...Isaac can't start now after 2 years...
@@jaaron5277 a 7 player line up ?
Replace JI with Suggs.

I appreciate some Magic content! Wendell is on the up and up
Man I’m excited for Orlando this season!! Everyone is starting to realize we on the come up
I could see them making the 10th spot 5 different teams competing for that spot
@@nathancolegrove3066 what about the 4th spot?
@@tehzeebkajani6649 no chance
@@tehzeebkajani6649 Definitely no chance on that they're no where near as good as any of the top 9 teams in the east

It incredible how much talent is on this team! Especially at the forwards position, and the have solid 5’s.
Without a doubt hoopers and Magic fans know.

those passes to the cutters were beautiful
did it in chicago too
Extremely overlooked
If Suggs reaches anywhere near the hype he came in with and Palo and Franz are who we think they will be this could be the scariest young team in the league
That’s not even considering Fultz and Isaac reaching their potential… If it all comes together this team could be very scary for years to come.
Yup. They head to head with Detroit rn
He’s high IQ player and I feel like those guys always tend to develop more and more skills as they mature
Hope the Magic keep this group together. They move the ball well, and are going to be scary in the future.

LFGGGG WENDELL LOVEEEE. ALL STAR SEASON INCOMING
I don’t really like comparing players but he’s literally Al Horford Jr.😂 or at least has that type of impact
For sure. It’s one of the most accurate popular draft comparisons of the last several years even if he’s not quite Horford level yet.

I was so bummed when we traded away vooch but WCJ, Franz and another pick really was a steal!
Yessir. I love he’s on your radar
DOUBLE-DOUBLE MACHINE WENDELL CARTER#34 ..
LET'S GO DUKE!! ..
This Magic team can be crazy good!

If they draft Cam Whitmore in next years draft, this team is going places
PG: Fultz, Suggs
SG: Wagner, Harris
SF: Whitmore, Houstan

C: WCJ, Wiseman, BolBol
that’s just the young talent. I’d expect them to sign a veteran SG and SF

Indeed…when u dropping your next vid?
@@WaliWrlddd Not a whole lot left to make until the games start again - maybe another WCJ video though!
@@OrlandoMagicMoments yea now that I think of it you pretty much covered everything there is to cover lol look forward to the next one!
Great video bro! Wendell could win this award if the Magic have a successful season. I think he’s a legit top 10 center already with great upside. Regarding your question he could become a better rim protector and if he stays healthy I believe he will.
the short answer is yes
They’re like the east version of OKC so many young talent!
No clear Star tho bunch of Borderline stars
This man carried my fantasy team.
Might grab him this year
@@fluworldorder426 his block percentage sucks tho. Probs improve this year. He was the king of double double
So with you putting your projections out on Fultz and Wendell Carter both around 16-18 a game, where you got Cole, Franz, and Paolo averaging at.
Realistically Fultz might be a little high. I think 15 is probably best case scenario.
But I think we see a of high teen scorers on this team. Paolo/Franz/Cole/Wendell all in the 16+ range.
And then Suggs/Fultz in the 12+ range.
Ross/Bamba/Isaac/Chuma/RJ/MW/ filling in from there
They were 29th in PPG last year, lot of room for growth.
@@HoopIntellect I like it. Franz has looked great through the Eurobasket I hope he can get up to 20+ a game he def can.
Corsa😊😊 great choose in music , ppl sleep on Hit boy
I think the bulls gave up on him too soon.
I think Paolo Franz and WC can take this team to a play in next season (not this upcoming one)
Gonna try to get him late in my fantasy draft
Mip season for him or bones Hyland imo
WCJ gonna show ppl he’s the real deal
Great vid,
What did you think about Franz and Wendell being left off the ESPN NBArank top 100 players list?
That whole list is ridiculous, might be as bad as it ever has been

Is he the franchise 5 next to Paolo? In that same breadth, how well does he complement Paolo?
He plays the same position as Banchero
Feel like Naz Reid is up there too
Hell nah
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🔥
Very bad trade for the Bulls. This is the type of big that they needed.
Do anybody think Orlando Magic better than the Miami Heat?
Bulls should of kept him
No Isaiah Hartenstein is.
Ok
So excited as a magic fan. It’s time 💙🖤🪄
trade for him Lakers
I'd say he's properly rated. Solid big, nothing special yet. Racked up stats on a garbage team, Christian Wood can do the same..
Bro he’s underrated just stop
