Orlando Magic are not quite on the pace revolution
The Orlando Magic, like the rest of the league, has seen a dramatic increase in pace. The Magic though are still learning how to use this to their advantage
The Orlando Magic have a young team.
The team is not trying to use youth as an excuse. Scott Skiles’ common refrain is instead to use youth as a strength.
The stereotype there is for the team to pick up its pace. Young teams should play fast and out in transition because they are young and can run for longer or something.
The Magic are not likely trying to become a team that runs at all costs. But there is some intention to play with more pace in all of its forms. Skiles has said so and it has been a constant refrain from him.
