REDEMPTION: Orlando Magic Face PRESSURE to Prove Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner Can Lead Revival
Description
The Orlando Magic are coming off a frustrating season where they all know they left wins and opportunities on the board. Nobody is satisfied with how last season ended, least of all the team's star, Paolo Banchero.
Orlando doubled down on continuity this offseason. They believe they have enough to compete at the top of the Eastern Conference. The hope is that a new coach and a fresh start can unlock that next level.
Everything will start with Banchero, though. He knows that he is measured by how far his team advances and by how many games his team wins. That is the measure for him.
This team is seeking redemption for last year's disappointment.
