F/F - Turkoglu will play a majority of his career here.</div> Fact, I think he will spend the rest of his career here and I hope he does. He's instant offense with underrated defense. F/F- Dwight Howard will be a successful #1 option in this league. (as opposed to a #2 or #3 option that does the dirty work)
Fact- He is in his second year in the league abd he is showing flashes that he can, just wait until he is on his 4th or 5th seson he will amaze everyone F/F- The Magic will have a 1-5 seed next year in the playoffs
Fiction, they'll be in the play-offs, but not as a 1-5 seed. F/F - Darko will be a 20/10 guy eventually.
Fiction, I can see him averaging 16/8 and 3 blocks a game though and thats pretty damn good... besides dwight will steal all the boards. F/F - The Magic are one solid swingman away from immediately being elite in the east

Fact - The Magic are playing loose and with a lot of confidence. Two games at home and the only road game is against the struggling Pacers. F/F - Dwight Howard will average 20/10 player by next season?
Fact, barring either season ending injuries early to Jameer or Dwight, I think the pieces will come into place. Fact or Fiction: Our draft pick should and will be a big time defensive stopper who can play the 2 or the 3.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheGreatK-Bob:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction: Our draft pick should and will be a big time defensive stopper who can play the 2 or the 3.</div> Fact. I would love to get a defensive stopper because if we have learned anything in the last couple of years, it is that defenses win championships. The Pistons and Spurs have dominated because of their hard nosed defense. The Mavericks are another example of a team who was always good but not great until they began focusing heavily on defensive intensity. Also, there is no question in my mind that we need a SG/SF right now because Hedo Turkoglu and DeShawn Stevenson are probably our two weakest starters. If we can get a great wing player, this team will be complete. Fact or Fiction: Darko Milicic is just as important to this franchise as Jameer Nelson is.
Fiction: Darko is important, but Jameer is the cornerstone of the program along with Dwight. I think Darko will be just a little below that dynamic duo. Fact or Fiction - Grant Hill has played his last game in Orlando.
Fiction. He will play 3-4 games next year before going down with injury. Fact or Fiction: Dwight will get 30 rebounds in a game in his career.(He got 26 last night)
Fact- With Jameer's improved perimeter shooting and his ability to get to the basket (very quite easily now), I think he might even be one of the top PG's in the league next season. He will continue to develop and become a complete PG probably in his 4th season. He'll have more PPG, unless Dwight improves his shooting. F/F: With Turkoglu's stock rising in the latter part of this season, Magics management will test his value in the market and maybe have him traded.
Fact - I think it's very possible especially in his career as you said. In his prime he'll be amazing. Fact or Fiction - Jameer Nelson will average more PPG then Dwight Howard next season/ average more shots than Dwight.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting SP23:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction - Jameer Nelson will average more PPG then Dwight Howard next season/ average more shots than Dwight.</div> I think at the start of the season Jameer will take more shots and average more points because that is the type of point guard he is. He is more of a scoring guy than a distributor so when the season starts, I can see him averaging around 18 PPG with Dwight averaging around 16 PPG. Then, as the season wears on, the players will realize that our best chance to win is when Dwight is shooting the most shots and is our main threat on offense. With this, Dwight's numbers will increase (to about 18 or 19 PPG) and Jameer's will drop (to about 12 or 13 PPG). Fact or Fiction: Darko Milicic will be a starter by the time next season starts.
I see Stockton and Malone all over these two in the future. Jameer of course is more of a scorer but along the lines of dominate players at the positions they are going to be something else. I still cant believe all the teams that passed on Jameer. Oh well our gain. Jameer and Dwight will be the next Stockton and Malone. Good guys that play the game like it is suppose to... The future looks very bright for these two. I dont think Darko will start at the beginning of the season, unless he comes out of training camp with extra weight and more of a low post game. Right now he needs to get use to playing a lot of games then he can start. F/F Magic can compete against Miami and Washington for top of the SE division next year?
Magic will not trade Hedo. He is to valuable to this team. He is in the core group with Dwight, Jameer, Darko and Ariza. I think these guys will stay together for a while. F/F Dwight wins rebounding title next year?
Fact, the Magic can compete with Miami/Washington for the division crown, it should be a very close race. Fiction, I think when he starts getting more offense run through him then he will see a small drop off in boards and this year was one of the lowest rebounding titles in awhile under 13 rpg. I do think he will stay in the 11-12 range and continue to be an elite rebounder. F/F: Hedo Turkoglu will be our leading scorer next year.
Let's bring this back since the offseason is here and we need something to talk about. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">F/F: Hedo Turkoglu will be our leading scorer next year.</div> Fiction, Dwight Howard will be our leading scorer because he will have a breakout year and our coaches will make sure to get him the ball. If it isn't Dwight then it will probably be Jameer Nelson. Fact or Fiction: J.J. Redick will lead our team in three pointers made.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Swish15:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact or Fiction: J.J. Redick will lead our team in three pointers made.</div> Fact, I think that is what he'll be doing a lot of the time, his range from videos I've seen is outta this world. If he gets a decent amount of playing time then he'll be our team's leading 3 drainer. Fact or Fiction: Our team will win 45+ games next season.
