Yesterday, the Magic lost 110-127 to the Bucks and the Second-to-Last loss to the defending champions of the Big Three, which is not a strange thing.
But losing or losing, magic still has a point worth having fun with.
First, they lost on the bench, the positive and negative values of the starting lineup are positive, and the plus and minus values of the substitutes are on average -21, which can be described as being beaten.
The second is their selection of the No. 8 show Wagner, 12 of 20, 8 of 4 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, a career-high 38 points, which is also the highest score of the 2021 rookie, which was previously the 30 points of the list of Green.
He was also the first Magic rookie to shoot 50 percent from the field, 50 percent from three-point range, and 100 percent from the free throw line since Dennis Scott in 1990.
In the last 14 games, Wagner has averaged 20 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
The excellent performance also helped him in the latest issue of the rookie list, from the fifth in the previous issue, directly to the first.
Here are the specific scenarios
1: Franz Wagner, Magic (5th of last week)
2: Scotty Barnes, Raptors (1st last week)
3: Evan Mobley, Cavaliers (2nd last week)
4: Cade Cunningham, Pistons (3rd last week)
5: Josh Gidy, Thunder (4th last week)
At the beginning of the season, Wagner was consistently considered the easiest rookie in the top ten to drop.
Not high enough, not fast enough, bad shooting... The draft report listed a bunch of his shortcomings, but looking at it now, his three-point rate is 36.4%, the highest in the top ten rookies; 87 free throws, the highest for rookies; sixth in rebounds, fourth in assists, second in steals, and fifth in blocks.
omnipotence!
Wagner used his performance to crush the doubts. Self-disciplined people, luck and ability will not be too bad.
