The Orlando Magic’s point guard problem

Looking back, the Orlando Magic had many problems throughout the 2016 season. Some big, some small, but many had a similar theme: instability. And no position saw more instability throughout the season than the point guard position.

On the outside looking in, this would not turn up in a search for issues.

Elfrid Payton, surprising rookie and promising sophomore, was the starting point guard and entrenched there. Veteran C.J. Watson was added in for some stability off the bench. Shabazz Napier was a sophomore guard with a scoring knack and plenty of potential.
