The Magic didn't make the full progress they hoped to, which lands on Rob Hennigan's shoulders.
For GM Rob Hennigan, there would be no bones about it – the Magic underachieved this year.
"I think we didn’t make the type of progress we had hoped to make this season," said the fourth-year general manager. "At the beginning of the year, we had a stated goal of making the playoffs and clearly we came up short on that end."
He did say that the process is working, however, and brighter times are ahead. "At the same time, though, I think there is a balance between recognizing the fact that we did make steady progress in our view and we don’t want to discount that.
