I hope Cooley finds his way onto an NBA roster.

Harrison is such a good defensive player.

The defense has been so good at times tonight. Loving Ayton actually banging in the post. Maybe those post moves aren't a year a way. :)

This game has been WOOF.

Magic are shooting 33% and we're at 36%. Just yuck.

Has Ayton missed a free throw in summer league yet? Couple nice post possessions to pick up fouls on Bamba and Isaac. His ability to knock down free throws is going to be nice

Finally getting a chance to watch, from the second half of the 3rd quarter onwards.

- Ayton is putting on his big boy pants and simply dominating Bamba and Issacs.
- JJ is playing out of control, maybe he is being coached to work on his drives? If he plays like this during the season, he'd have regressed.
- Say what you will about Bender, but in the past couple of minutes he done a great job defensively and drilled an open 3

- And Bender just rifled a pass into an open man (who missed the layup) and then played great D on the other end

He must be playing better than he has been playing.

Ayton's defensive reactions seem to be fine...

Ayton has a nice soft touch..
JJ just forcing it hoping to bully himself into shooting form

Yeah, no problems with his defense whatsoever.

If he's in proper position and changing shots and being a presence, I'm not concerned with the number of blocks.

Had 3 blocks today that got called fouls... They all looked like questionable foul calls

Ayton just quietly and efficiently pulls off something like a 20-10 game. Right now, he's looking like Dwight Howard with a jump shot.

Only able to watch the fourth quarter but man this is the Ayton I’ve been waiting for. He was just all over the game. Dominated both ends and was aggressive. Loved it. Got some BS fouls against him. His defense was great.

Agreed. Bender broke out of his funk today. Let's see what JJ does.

He just blows. He’s absolutely awful right now. Really should expect an improvement in his decision making after getting so much PT as a rook
