I don't know how a perimeter guard defender can be so impactful. Usually a defensive player to have extremely high impact would be defensive bigs or long wings like Amen.
Paolo and Franz both were injured for a bit. Probably still dealing with the effects of that. Just a cursed season for them but Suggs is made of glass.
I had no idea the Magic were so dysfunctional on offense. The Rockets were ready to give up the lead but the Magic bricked so many open shots the rims need to be repainted.
It really makes no sense. They were a competent offense when Banchero went down. Kept it going when Franz went down. But everything turns to garbage when Suggs goes down. Historic offensive decline. It's baffling.
Before the injury, Jabari was playing some of the best ball of his career and he hasn't exactly hit the ground running since coming back. I expected him to take a while to round into form. Just needs to hit his stride by playoff time.
