  • The Orlando Magic are an NBA franchise with a history of some wildly thrilling highs and prolonged, wandering lows, and it seems as if they are on a climb toward achieving the highs again. Their roster is predominantly young and made up of an eclectic, unusual assortment of physically gifted players-Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the tandem of 6-foot-10 forwards, being chief among them. Is this the NBA’s next dominant team? What makes their duo of future stars so distinct and different from pairings of the past? The Ringer’s J. Kyle Mann sets out to examine all of this and more.

      Fultz been nice, but I don't think we should be saying he's the key to anything with Orlando having a losing record. I think the key for this Orlando team to reach their ceiling depends primarily on Paolo's development in the long term since I think dude is the only one on the roster with serious superstar potential. Then again, that's just my take.

    Their core is pretty much in place..maybe a couple adjustments but it's basically in place. They just need to develop their chemistry and improve their skills and fundamentals a bit more. Injuries are definitely uncertain but if this team can stay healthy and gain more and more experience...this will be a championship team in the near future. I really hope they can make a postseason run and get to the playoffs.
    Once they get a taste of the playoffs...they will have a better focus of the ultimate goal.

    Franz is just playing winning Basketball. Knows his weaknesses and strengths. Plays composed and controlled both on defens and on offense. He is so efficient, allways does just what is needed to win. If he develops the same as he did in past years he for sure has real star potential. Already was the best German player on their 3. Place.

    Wait... was he talking about Paolo Banchero or early LeBron James? But seriously, this assessment is almost like LeBron lite. Similar situations too when the Cavs got Bron. Idk if Paolo's dragging this team to the finals anytime soon... but i guess that's the difference between a great player and a GOAT player
    So from what i hear in this video... if not EVERY SINGLE ONE of their players are injured in some way, Orlando could be a real contender soon lol
