SWING PLAYERS: Orlando Magic Need Jalen Suggs & Wendell Carter to IGNITE for a DEEP Playoff Run
Description
The Orlando Magic face a pivotal season with several players under pressure to prove they can be more.
Both Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter are in the immediate crosshairs as the Magic aim to improve. They have both carved themselves out as essential defensive players. But both are trying to elevate their game to a championship level.
Suggs' intensity is essential to the Magic's defense and their reaching their ceiling. But he can often be out of control and inconsistent in the details. That ultimately dooms him and prevents him from playing his best at critical moments.
Carter has the opposite problem. He is very solid and always in the right spot. But he can struggle to elevate his game and make the championship-level plays that could make the Magic contenders.
The Magic will be feeling the pressure from all sides. And Carter and Suggs could prove to be huge pressure points and swing players for the Magic and their Playoff hopes.
