SLEEPER ALERT: Orlando Magic, Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner set to CHALLENGE low expectations
Description
The first batch of predictions for the upcoming NBA season are starting to be published. As expected, the Orlando Magic are sort of stuck in the middle. They are projected to be a Play-In Team again and there is a general lack of faith and lack of proof in their play.
If the Magic are going to defy these early expectations, they will need their best two players to step up into the spotlight. And the only way they can do that is to win. That will be the only way to turn the tide and change the narrative about them.
With much of the team meeting and playing together in Los Angeles, the team is working on building the chemistry they need to make their breakthrough this season.
