To some extent, the Magic don’t make any sense. The shooting is still a large concern, and the way their star Paolo Banchero plays, he needs spacing to attack. A lot of people were calling them the biggest losers of the 2023 NBA Draft. They took Anthony Black at number 6, when they already have a logjam of combo guards and Jett Howard at 11 when there were better shooting types on the board still in Gradey D and Jordan Hawkins. Both players seemed like questionable fits, but whether you like the fit or not they both clearly have high upside. Then they added Kai Sotto to their summer league squad, a 7’3 center from the Philippines who went undrafted last year. But the ceiling with him is also clearly very high. A lot of guys on the team feel like wild cards: Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony, Bol Bol, Jonathan Isaac, Jalen Suggs. And we don’t know how good they’ll be. But we do know they have two rising stars in Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, who feel like the next Tatum and Brown. The Magic kind of feel like Raptors south. They’re building a tall, lengthy team that has shooting concerns and good defense. But the Magic to me have higher upside, and that’s what makes them so exciting. But they’re also unpredictable.
Think about subbing, I’m on the road to 9k!!!

They are very intriguing , they need to get rid of Jonathan. Issac though
I like the opportunity for Kai here. There are no true center in team in SL. This will hopefully highlight Kai skillset and team offer him contract. For the 3pts fg, the reason why it is only 22% is because team are not allowing him to take those shot cause they don't have rebounders. Also take note, his NBL team mate Mojave King was pick by pacers and you can compare their stats during the same season, You can clearly see that he is better than him. Bu heard that of expiring contract of Bolbol, Mo Wagner & Gorga, I think this is why Kai was offer in SL.
KAI SOTTO WILL SHOCK ALOT PLAYER IN THIS SUMMER LEAGUE..
Kai Sotto will be the best match up for the alien, Wemby. This is the right timing for Kai to enter NBA, no.1 pick vs the undrafted! It's gonna be very interesting.
I think that means they’re getting rid of Bol bol
ORLANDO HAS A MASTER PLAN….GO MAGIC 💯💯
Kai Sotto without a doubt he is good center for Orlando magic
For Paolo to get those numbers with pretty bad shooting, thats impressive. Hopefully he get start knocking shots down and continue to draw fouls. He'll be an all star if he can do that.
Put it this way if their future is black,jett, franz ,banchero and carter. It doesnt get more versatile and they now have a sniper. Black is an excellent point of attack defender and this unit can rebound and even though its freakishly tall its in its own way positionless.
Orlando definitely went for big everything….. Now they have a huge point and two guard…….This team has great size everywhere…,…Except for Cole Anthony
I thought Howard was a good pick. Simply for his three point shooting.
If they give kai a play same when his tsf time maybe orlando can make a history
any team that signs kai will have a lot of upside, name it and the Filipino's will support
Enjoy your content. Your choice of background music is awful.
I believe it's time for Kai to shine in the SL. Go get it Kai! 💪
Its a winner for Orlando for getting Kai to be part of NBA Summer League , Kai will not only supported by millions of Filipino but Magic team will be love by Filipinos.
This is crazy. They are not the most unguardable team. And magic have a poor coach.
Kai give your best every seconds counts
Love my magic but tbh we should have gotten Emoni bates 🤦🏾♂️
Low key Jett going to be a dog yall watch
signing KAI SOTTO to Magic means profit to team.
philippines is the second largest nba viewers and supporter of nba, meaning signing Kai Sotto to NBA means good for the team and good for the league.thats a FACT.
AND BECAUSE YOU FEATURE KAI SOTTO, IM NOW YOUR NEW SUBSCRIBER.
KAI SOTTO AT 7FT. 3INCHES. IS A GOOD FIT FOR ORLANDO MAGIC. HE CAN SHOOT. DRIBBLE. CAN PASS. BLOCK SHOTS.
Never trust the mocks. Look at history. Jett will be better than Grady and Hawkins.
My favourite squad, I root for them, but I’m not sure they’re gonna make it
I HAVE TO ASK THIS ORLANDO PLAYER WHO IS THE ROSTER IN THE ORLANDO CAN GUARD VICTOR WENGBANYAMA AND JOKIC AND DEFEND THEM AND STOP THEM GUARDS CANT STOP THEM ONLY KAI SOTTO WILL HELP ORLANDO BUT THE ORLANDO HAS NO ROSTER SPACE FOR KAI THIS IS PURE STUPIDIEST I EVER SEE STICK TO GUARD AND JOKIC AND VICTOR AND LAKERS WILL JUST EAT THEM FOR SURE WITHOUT A DEFENSIVE TYPE OF PLAYER U CANNOT WIN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP IF U CANT STOP THEM ON SCORING ON YOU..AND BAD SIDE OF THIS JOKIC CAN GUARD THEM AND STOP THEM THIS IS THE REASON WHY DENVER BEAT SMALL TEAM BECAUSE THEY CANT DEFEND THE BIG GUYS IN THE PAINTS..
Gogogo kai Soto 🙏🙏🙏🇱🇷👍👍👍
Super Kai show the pinoy that u are super Kai 👍🙏🙏🙏🇱🇷👍
