I was like, uh-oh.
DeMar DeRozan is good, but he is a mid-range player that hasn't had a whole bunch of โ
playoff success.
And that's not what Paolo should be.
That's not what he should be as a player.
A mid-range, trying to get to 19-footers, doesn't make any sense at all.
You look at their defense, I think they're maybe 15th on the year, but they're bottom 10 in fast break points allowed.
They're bottom 10 in points in the paint?
How does that even make sense?
They've got giants out there.
They can never be good on offense.
I don't think it is ever going to happen with the coach they have and with the schemes that they're trying to run because one guy starts dribbling and nobody else is guarded.
There's four other guys just waiting in the lane the entire time.
Desmond Bain is the only threatening three-point shooter.
I just don't see this team as good enough offensively now that they've fallen off on the defensive end.
They need to be a top-five defensive team, and they need to hope to be 20th on the offensive end.
I think they're 20th right now, which is a great season for the Magic offensively, but they just don't have the right mix.
They don't have enough creativity.
I don't think they have enough playmaking.
They just don't get anything from their perimeter guys outside of scavenging points is what it feels like.
