Averaging 19.8/6.5/4.6 on 48.8/43.6/65.1

Slight caveat is that this is among qualifying players. Qualifying players have a games played requirement. Will definitely change when Fultz and WCJ are healthy again but nonetheless an amazing start to the year for the reigning ROY. Especially considering the overreactions to his first few games.

So glad we took him over Bari and Chet. Chet's the real deal but I love this guy

I dunno if the shooting splits are sustainable but this is awesome to see. I feel like Paolo got lost in the mix with Chet and Wemby being out there but on the offensive side Paolo is every but the unicorn these guys are. I think he moves far better and he came into the league with an actual NBA body.

I think he settles in the high 30s from 3 and the low 70s from ft.

Magic take a team approach to the game and don’t really care about individual accolades or stats. They just want to win, and play mind boggling staggeringly tough defense. I love it. In a league dominated by mega stars micro waving themselves into contenders the magic, and teams like OKC are building teams and cultures the old fashioned way.
