We love future HOF P5 in the O đź’™
Take out the 12 games after Paolo came back from injury and wasn’t yet in game shape he averaged 29 on 48% shooting.
It’s likely the injury kept him from being All NBA last year. With the team upgrades, if he stays healthy this year it’s a foregone conclusion.
PB had that his rookie year. You guys NBA League Pass.
I predict Nikola Jokic will have a breakout season in 25-26
Forgot about the magic adding TJones from PHX. True PG, can shoot, great Assist to turnover ratio, also played ball with Bane in Memphis . Should be a fun season here in Orlando 🫡🤙🏽
The idea of Paolo isn’t the reality of Paolo. He doesn’t play to his strengths. He’s not good in the mid range but settles for a lot of jumpers. 6’10” and 250lbs with a handle…he should be putting more pressure on the rim than anyone else in the league.
Breathe with your nose not mouth
But he already broke out. You meant MVP?
BS UMTFSOB
He was already having one and people gone act so surprised like he’s gotten so much better when his team just got better. So he will have more efficient numbers and better analytics.
Magic fan…. thanks for the P5 love! We believe in our guy. Him and Franz will both be allstars and P5 will be all NBA this season
Year 4 Paolo incoming
I'm a Detroit fan, but a healthy Magic team will compete for the east.
