I’ve seen him play irl, bro he’s so good and knows what he’s doing on the court, and he’s so fun to watch
Magic fan, and you absolutely nailed this man. Feel it might have been pertinent to acknowledge the absurd amount of double teams he faces at his young age (he's like 6th or 7th in the league as a ballhandler IIRC), which leads to a lot of poor snap decisions and removes what little finesse he does have around the basket (he's still not confident enough to take it strong every time). Teams know they can blitz him and severely reduce his chance of a good play - if he was on a team with someone like Mitchell or Brunson, I think you'd see his numbers and efficiency go way up
He’s way better than numbers suggest. He has to work so hard to score because team has worst spacing in the world. He has to operate on pick n rolls 30 feet away too often. He should be operating as a Screener and at elbows more
Magic want him to be a more complete player. He’s basically training on games while winning
He bears some of the responsibility for that because he can’t shoot either
@@willrobbins2550 situations matter he obviously need to work on his shot but if he got easier shots had to work less get to his spots he will shoot better
@@stevenwhiters8928 the Magic have created one of the best defenses in the NBA, offense was the price they paid for it. Paolo can either improve and adapt or keep taking dumb shots
@@willrobbins2550 yeah guys like you just don’t understand hoops at a high level. It’s a rythym situation based game. Bigger guys should start operating closer to basket whether they shoot or not. All that dribbling takes legs out your shot.
Guy is really good.. if he was playing for lakers, everyone would look at him different. He's a work horse.. he does a lot more than just scoring points. He's the reason magic players seem better, he's the reason why magic goes into the playoffs and I think it could be really good for him that he's not constantly pressed by the media.
The fact that the magic wasn't even in the play-in tournament last year , to potentially have the Chace to have 2nd or 3rd seed this year is beyond expectations ! This proves that the magic are a team that will not be slept on anymore ! The media doesn't even want to acknowledge or even speak on the magic or Paolo ! He's the next face of the NBA . It's just now the cold water is being splashed on everyone's face to wake up 😅 LETS GO MAGIC !! 💪
This is an extremely fair analysis on Paolo. As a magic fan, Thank you for sharing the numbers WITH context. The discourse around him is so horrid bc people don’t care to watch games or look more into WHY the numbers are like that.
The LeBron thing is definitely real. He's kinda a bigger LeBron with all the right skillsets but not as refined or explosive as LeBron was. Still, considering his age, this is super promising.
What a great video. Excellent analysis and pretty spot on. Thank you for the Orlando content.
I'd love to hear your take on Franz. His 3 point shot disappearing is fascinating to me
Magic fan here. Your assessment is fair and remarkably accurate. Our team needs improvement in the backcourt, especially 3 point shooting as we have so many big bodies attacking the rim against defenses that clog the paint. We win because of our defense and our second unit, so experts underestimate us. Paolo is a great cornerstone to build on.
P5 is HIM
Fr
It's easy to be excited about a player when you're a fan of the team (which I am). But we have to understand Paolo's present limitations.
Really nice, balanced analysis. Best video I've seen on the topic!
I’m a magic fan been here since shaq and Penny, and ima tell you you are spot on about Paolo
HE’S ALSO THE #1 OPTION ON A TOP 4 TEAM IN THE LEAGUE ONLY IN YEAR 2. KEEP IN MIND WE MAY END AT 3RD OR 2ND IN THE EAST BEHIND P5.
I believe Issac and Paolo are unstoppable
Dallas is #5 in the west but would be #2 in the east. This East is a weak conference this year.
Excellent breakdown of his game
Paolo playing like peak Randle at 21 and the scary thing is he's playing with players that can't shoot, if the Magic can turn Fultz, WCJ and Gary to player like Kyrie and Klay while keeping Wagner bros, Suggs and Caleb they can dominate the east, if Celtics and Bucks become bust this year east will going to be wide open unless Jimmy still can do his thing for the next 3 years.
Magic were really good last year, they just started off 5-20 due to injuries they were dealing with after that tho they went 29-28 so hovering around .500 also last year Paolo had that month of February where he shot 9% from the 3
I was thinking about this...Paolo and Franz might be best duo in NBA under 25. Depends if you're including SGA because he's 25 exactly. Paolo is only 21 and Franz is 22. In most cases around NBA, it's 1 young star and 1 guy close to 30...ex. 76ers, T Wolves, Mavs, etc. Imo Wemby is best young player overall, but he doesn't have that second guy. Paolo made all star team barely 21. He's legit. Franz is on the cusp and he's 22. They aren't even close to their primes and they just lead a team to a top 5 seed. They're also so young that Magic won't have to pay them anytime soon. They have a bright future
He’s young and still learning but considering all the losers that came before him he’s still the best pick they’ve made in a long time.
Didn’t notice how similar his play style is to Lebron until you mentioned it! A young Lebron to be specific
Did you Magic fans here live the Shaq/Anderson/ Penny era? IDK, I did. Did the Magic fans here lived the Dwight/Shard/Hedo/Air France/ Jamer? I did. This Paolo team is sooo much better, the ceiling is unreal. Its all because of Paolo. Do better man.
He plays like Carmelo Anthony
I don't think Ive watched enough. Ive seen Orlando 3 times and he was passive and inefficient. The only positive I can recall were a couple of good passes from pick n roll.
I will take other's word about how good he is.
He still isn’t that consistent he has slow games sometimes but that will fix with time and confidence
Paolo’s 1st season +12 wins
2nd season +12wins and counting
Without signing anyone significant on FA. Yeah believe those numbers that the magic are better without him. Need to watch games to understand how valuable paolo is. Magic ain’t winning 46 games with Chet jabari or whoever from the ‘22 draft
Lakers will never ever take him. That BS is over.
Already better than Tatum
That’s crazy, but he very well could become better with a supporting cast that benefits his skill set
Rage bait comment 😂
