    Off topic but I hope people are watching the Magic when they say tanking/losing is the most important thing. They're winning games, developing and will ultimately still be in a position to get a top 5 pick. They have something to look forward to next year. We're losing games and our youth are regressing. We're just going to add another young player to a team that's taken a step but as long as we're losing right?

    To be fair these type of things can be very fickle. Remember only half the season has been played. There was a time about a month ago the Rockets were the Magic right now when they were beating the Suns, Bucks, Sixers etc.

    The Rockets could go on a two week tear against decent teams and people will be back saying "omg the Rockers have the best young core eva!"

    Obligatory if Josh Christopher plays significant minutes we win post. On a side note why wasn't he sent down to the G-League with TyTy?

    The Magic are 15-25, how is that "winning games" but 10-29 is losing?

    Their best player missed a significant amount of games. They’re winning games when Paolo plays. A 5 game difference when half the season hasn’t been played is quite the difference.

    Outside of Banchero, the only names that were prominent in those 10 years...

    Domantas Sabonis - traded on draft day
    Oladipo - Played and traded to the Thunder

    Olidipo was a second overall pick.

    Shallow draft from the US or Canadian players side with a bust up top.
    McCollum okay ish.

    Giannis and Gobert late picks whose chances of panning out weren't overwhelmingly great.

    To answer your side note, we need Josh Christopher with the big club because he yields easy wins when he plays significant minutes.
