its kinda odd theres basically been zero noise from our #1 pick this year. Wagner cant do any worse than Muscala who is not even coming back next year so why are we not playing him to fast track his development?

Luke knows he is out at the end of the season, he is giving us the big FU finger. Why else would anyone plau muscala over Mo?

Luke is an idiot for not playing Mo more. He looked capable and not helping his development. Is he perhaps injured or something?

I have a theory that Magic is just borderline delusionally high on Wagner, and wants Luke to play him, and Luke refuses. The team's sorry situation at the center position is basically Magic trying to leave Luke no choice but to play Wagner by literally giving Luke no other options, and Luke steadfastly refusing to budge.

He really has some talent. Plus a whole lot of positive energy. Just needs minutes.Whats next, going to move him like we did DLO/JR/ZU, and almost BI/Ball/KUZ/and our next 1st rounders?

Really love to see him get some minutes, he comes in with great intensity and passion, a real poistive energy that feeds the other guys.

"PLAY him LUKE"....!!!

The young players need consistency, even when they make bad decisions on the court or a bad game. Luke's rotations are so schizo that no one can get any consistency. Luke did this to Randle last year and now he's balling for the Pelicans.

Yeah, hard to develop when you don’t play. His last game was a week ago Saturday. Goes in makes a mistake and gets yanked. Not saying he’s going to be a good player, but difficult to assess when based on spot minutes here and there.

Some good minutes from Moe. Hopefully we see more of him down this last stretch of games. Let him learn from his mistakes.

No need to worry, we will be getting a full dose of Moe from now on. He is going to play in every game from here on out.

Mo got some work in tonight. May not be as good in the next game, but keep playing him. Might as well give whatever young guys we have left and any promising g-leaguers some more run.

Agree, Mo & Bonga should play minutes over Lance, Pope, Rondo. Luke knows he’s done & every other vet has checked out. Hard to believe but it’s only going to get worse rest of season...

Hopefully this negativity doesn’t carry over to next season?

Good offense, questionable defense, but latter can be addressed with repetition and experience. They should have played him from the start.

He's looked great tonight. The trademark energy and hustle is there, and some shooting touch to go with that.

I'd laugh if this wasn't so likely to happen.

I think Muscala is mentoring him really well. He even sacrificed all of his own skills and gave them to Wagner. Smart move Pelinka!

He might be our "energy/hustle" guy in the future. When he dived for the ball and yelled "GIVE ME THAT (bleep)" was pretty awesome to see.
