We don’t need to sign a shooter. We have him on our roster already.
Magic HC Jamahl Mosley referred to Caleb Houston as a “machine” following his career-high 25 points and 4 assists performance:

His shot is legit effortless. That’s a guy who has mastered his shot.
I could watch him stroke it from deep all night long.
And he’s 20 years old. Gimmie a long term value contract
So reward him by starting him when Franz comes back. You can fit him with Suggs in the backcourt.
So play him more even after all the guys come back from injury. He is hands down the best shooter on the team and plays respectable defense. He is a must play atp.
I was saying the same thing to my brother tonight. Screw overpaying for Buddy Hield.
Genius second round pick by Weltman.
If he continues like this, we got our “it” guy from three.
Klay Houston
Loved it yesterday. Seeing him gain confidence in-game was fun
I’m totally jealous that he gets paid to practice shooting threes and staying in NBA basketball shape. I think about my job and it’s fine but I love sports so much, I wish I could drive over to an NBA arena and get up shots and get a professional trainer rubbing me down, icing me up, etc after. I’d be in the gym all day and night too if I was 20 playing NBA and making NBA money.
My quite literal only worry about starting Houstan would be whether or not Suggs can be tasked with full time PG duty, but if he continues at his pace from 3 and so does Caleb, it just might work maybe. I envision either we get a better PG via trade/FA and start them together with Suggs while Caleb becomes our bench 2/3, or start Suggs/Houstan and find some kind of a role player SG (Hield maybe?) to give even more shooting. Gary feels unfortunately kinda cooked, Cole is undersized and idk how much i like either Black or Fultz on here long term (unless Black improves from 3, i already lost all hope with Kelle on that front).
