Magic coach Frank Vogel is emphasizing pushing the ball upcourt
One of the biggest differences between last year's Orlando Magic training camp under Scott Skiles and this year's training camp under Frank Vogel is a heavier emphasis on running.
Swingman Evan Fournier said Vogel has stressed pushing the ball upcourt more than Skiles.
Vogel wants to see his players speed forward in transition whenever possible, and he has had the players do more conditioning work than Skiles did.
"I'm kind of tired, man," Fournier said, smiling.
"You always run in every training camp, but that's a big emphasis, especially for wing players. I mean, I've played for George Karl [in Denver], so I know what a running team is. And, yeah, we are running a lot right now."
