From covering various Orlando Magic drafts, trade deadlines, and off-seasons, one thing has been evident time and time again under the organization’s current front office regime.
The Magic value players with an abundance of character. Yes, they value wingspan (that joke is still alive), positional versatility, a defensive mindset - sure. But they must feel pretty strongly about the player as a person first before considering the possibility of bringing them into the fold.
Like he mentions quite frequently, Orlando Magic President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman reiterated Monday during Orlando Magic Media Day how pleased he is with the character of players up-and-down Orlando’s roster.
