ATLANTA — Of the 74 five-man lineups that Magic coach Jamahl Mosley has used throughout Orlando‘s first seven games, his opening night starting five has played the most minutes together.
And so far, the results have been mostly positive for the Magic.
Although it’s a small sample size, the first group of Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr., has posted a plus-22 net rating in its 56 minutes played together, according to NBA.com.
Despite starting the season 1-4, Orlando (3-4) has since won two games in a row, and Suggs believes they’re continuing to improve as they implement newcomer Bane and a faster-paced offense.
