Perception is Reality: How the Orlando Magic get their fair turn in the spotlight
The Orlando Magic were far out of the spotlight last year even as they climbed the standings. This season they get a little bit of the spotlight with five national TV games and some recognition on NBA 2K25. But the team still has to fight for its place in the national conversation. It will take winning but it takes something more. Perception is reality and the Magic are still fighting for their place.

Magic added shooting..Da Silva and KCP...that should help...the real sleeper for the Magic may be the trade deadline.

We'd be looking at the 1st or 2nd seed. Worst case: Injuries plague us, regression in key players, Franz starts shooting like Fultz, we'd probably be a play-in team.

  • @kordarensmith4745
    @kordarensmith4745 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

    What up Magic lovers! I'm here from Locked on Rockets. Quick question... Would you trade Jalen Suggs for Jalen Green? Not necessarily this offseason, but next offseason. Green is an explosive athlete that can score in bunches, but lacks overall consistency in areas. I think Rockets will use this year as final test to see how well Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun mesh within the offense together. If it fails, then I think a sign and trade can be orchestrated in restricted free agency. I think this will potentially be final test for both Jalen Suggs and Green for consistency & fit with their respective teams. I've noticed Magic fans desire more consistency on the offensive end from Suggs. Just as Rockets fans desire overall consistency from Green. Especially defensively. They're both former top 5 picks from same draft. I think this would be a fair swap. Not to mention, I don't think Magic will be married to KCP in this scenario. I think he'll be off loaded if Jalen Green comes into the fray. I'd also like to think y'all didn't draft Anthony Black or pay Cole Anthony in vain. Let me know what you guys think.

    • @nono-qe2yq
      @nono-qe2yq 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      i wouldnt be interested in that. Suggs at this point is a better player to have next to Paolo and Franz. He's a big reason for the Magic's success on defense. I dont think he's going anywhere. Black is not ready to be a starter ATM and the FO's plan is probably to one day have a Suggs/Black back court. Cole is just a back up PG, and if they want more consistency out of their back court on offense, he is the one that needs to be traded for an upgrade.

    • @kordarensmith4745
      @kordarensmith4745 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @nono-qe2yq Ok. I see where you're coming from. However, I did hear of desired offensive consistency of Suggs. Given Jalen Green's relationship with Paolo, combined with Green's offensive prowess, I thought it'd be a fair trade. Lol it's like Magic pundits want offensive consistency with Suggs. Just as Rockets pundits want overall consistency from Green. Especially defensively. That's why I was thinking fair swap 😂

    • @nono-qe2yq
      @nono-qe2yq 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@kordarensmith4745 They're both young players. Both inconsistent, but Suggs has shown massive improvement offensively and given how hard he plays on defense/hustle plays, I give him a pass for his offensive inconsistencies for now, but I believe he has a lot of unrealized potential on that end. For me the issue isnt really Suggs. The issue for me is that instead of bringing in more offensive help in the backcourt, they went and signed a 3 and D guy in KCP. Which isnt a big deal as the Magic won a lot of games with 5PPG Harris starting, but if you're going to have KCP+Suggs backcourt it makes sense to have an elite 6th man who can give you consistent offense. So for me the answer right now is to upgrade from Cole to like a Collin Sexton/Anfernee Simons/Malcolm Brogdon/Bogdan Bogdanovic. Use Cole+picks in a trade. I still like Jalen Green, but Suggs really is the heart and soul of this Magic team and their defense. This Magic front office and coaching staff seem to want to focus on size+defense in the starting line up. Putting Suggs at PG means you have a big PG that can play defense. With Green, he's not exactly big for the SG position, nor is he a good defender.

    • @kordarensmith4745
      @kordarensmith4745 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @nono-qe2yq I love your elaboration. I can definitely take that answer. However, I do think Jalen Green has higher upside; although, admittedly, I preferred Jalen Suggs over Jalen Green in that draft. Fyi if I were to trade Cole Anthony, I'd take Colin Sexton. He's a balanced player on both ends. I love his defensive tenacity just as I love Suggs'... Great dialogue, bro!

      Wemby shot worse than Franz. His defensive impact mattered. But Wemby really struggled in that game.

      He's 22. Go back and watch his shot profile from that game. They are the exact kind of shots you want and trust Wagner to take and make.

    Franz need to get in the gym and practice nothing but 3 points shots. Because if teams stop him from going to basket his only option is to pass out. If gets better at 3 pt shot it will open his game more.

      Franz doesnt need 3 pointers. What he needs to improve and be consistent at is his post up moves and mid range jumper. Hes a forward not guard. He needs to use his size to his advantage.

    Today's question of the day: Which elimination game performance do you prefer - Franz's Game 7 (10 pts, 1/15 FGs) or Franz's Oly Semi (10 pts, 4/10 FGs)?
