NBA Power Rankings: OKC Thunder and peers jockey for position
Orlando magic. 15. team. 38. . 35-38. Previous: 19th
For a team which on paper (and on the court for that matter) don’t appear to be a great fit, the Magic have made strides this season. Regardless of the fit, there is plenty of youthful talent on this Orlando club.
Specifically, the frontcourt is stacked with Jonathan Isaac, Mo Bamba, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Vucevic. This is reflected in the team’s fourth-ranked defense and sixth-ranked rebounding efforts since the All-Star break.
Although the experience would behoove the team the big question this offseason will be how Markelle Fultz develops and what assets the brain trust add to bolster the backcourt.
