They have to take one more step in their progression, and it must be significant. Orlando Magic has been able to build a team with its own identity in just a few years, a recognizable block full of competitive character and notable ambitions. Accomplished defensive experts, the Florida team needed a change that would maintain their essence while improving their offensive performance, and it seems they have found it.
Now, what remains is to demonstrate that they have hit the right note. If there was one thing these Orlando Magic needed, it was a disruptive perimeter player, capable of scoring from the outside with ease, creating their own shots, distributing the game, and not lacking in defense. The signing of Desmond Bane fits perfectly to those needs and completes a formidable starting five with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner as key figures, accompanied by Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter Jr.
Perhaps there is still a need for a more disruptive element at the point guard position, but the magic of their young stars and the expected progression they will show after gaining playoff experience could turn Orlando Magic into a fearsome team. The power vacuum in the Eastern Conference favors the idea of considering them as a team to watch out for, as long as they maintain their identity. Their roster depth, with players like Tyus Jones, Anthony Black, Jonathan Isaac, Moritz Wagner, Tristan da Silva, and Jase Richardson, makes the forecasts optimistic.
