The Orlando Magic needed to add shooting without compromising their defensive integrity. They not only added a good shooter in Desmond Bane, they got one of the best shooters in the league, according to NBA 2K26's preseason rankings.
It became unavoidable throughout the season and especially in the Playoffs. The Magic could not shoot.
Their 31.8 percent 3-point shooting was the worst mark from three in nearly a decade.
