Magic Outlook

Do the Orlando Magic have the WORST bench unit in the NBA? Tristan da Silva Jamal Cain Nikola Vucevic Goga Bitadze Jevon Carter This is bad… 😳

It's panic time in Charlotte. Worst offensive rating in the NBA by far. They take over half their shots from 3 even though they're shooting below 30%. Sion James cannot hit the side of the backboard, yet Charles Lee keeps empowering him to launch bricks. Brandon Miller is not looking worth the money. Kon Knueppel is hurt again already. Seeing a lot of bad body language across the roster. All the joy is gone. A step back was to be completely expected after trading LaMelo Ball but this is way worse than anticipated for the Hornets. This team looks broken.

🔮Orlando Magic 2-5 🪄25th ranked defense 🪄23rd ranked offense 🪄23rd net rating (-8.2) 🪄5th worst TOV% 🪄3rd worst Reb% 🔮Can't defend, Can't take care of the ball, Can't rebound. What type of team has Weltman constructed.
