**Cole Anthony**
Good 6th man, great energy, enthusiastic teammate, gives good press conferences that are entertaining
**Paolo Banchero**
People are running Giannis defenses against him as a rookie. Makes a lot of unexpected shots. ROTY. Part of the scary 1-2 punch of him and Frankie Vision.
**Goga Bitadze**
Thought he would be a meme player, but his defense and shotblocking and interest in getting the offensive boards is a great in a backup center. He also pushes Mo Wagner to a natural PF
**Bol Bol**
Highs and lows. Very entertaining early in the year, not sure what happened to him. Has not gotten minutes at all, and when all the good players were benched he did not do anything on offense in the last few games. People criticize his defense
**Wendell Carter Jr.**
One of the top defensive bigs in the league 6’10 270. Underrated double double machine (if needed), and the ability to hit the three is great for spacing.
**Michael Carter-Williams**
Another good energy guy, fiery competitor, not sure how much is left in the tank
**Markelle Fultz**
Very quirky overall, can apparently do windmill dunks and shoot normally from three. Surprisingly good on Defense…playmaker that makes everyone else better
**Gary Harris**
Top 5 in 3%, 3&D player
**Kevon Harris**
Scores a lot in the G-league, haven’t seen as much in the NBA, doesn’t do anything glaringly right or wrong
**Caleb Houstan**
Discouraging rookie season, a lot of missed wide open 3s run for him and it seems he was drafted as a shooter
**Jonathan Isaac**
Great when not injured, not sure if that will ever happen again
**Chuma Okeke**
Supposedly good on D, misses a lot of 3s
**Admiral Schofield**
Built like a linebacker, signed from the G league to the team for some reason
**Jay Scrubb**
Current G-leaguer, haven’t seen much from him yet
**Jalen Suggs**
Elite defense (one of top 5-10 guards on D according to raptor metric), boneheaded offense from time to time, hot and cold shooter
**Franz Wagner**
Mr. Consistency, the best player statistically, complains a bit too much for me sometimes, Part two of 1-2 punch of Paolo.
**Moritz Wagner**
Entertaining instigator, good energy and enthusiasm. Occasional post play is fun to watch

So, other than Paolo and Franz, is anyone a starter on a championship team?
I haven’t been this excited as a Magic fan for the team’s future since ‘94. But it seems pretty obvious to me everyone on the roster other than the top 2 players are expendable in the right circumstances.
