Dennis Scott: Orlando Magic need to bring back excitement, interest

When Dennis Scott was in an Orlando Magic uniform, everything was new.

The team was new — the Magic made him the fourth overall pick in the 1990 NBA Draft, the team’s second ever first-round pick. Scott’s 3-point shooting was also very foreign to the league at the time. He set records with his 3-point shooting and he became a dangerous weapon in a league still figuring out how to use that 23-foot, 9-inch line (shorter in the 1994 and 1995 seasons).

Orlando became one of the first teams to win relying heavily on the 3-point line when the team reached the NBA Finals in 1995.
