Orlando Magic Season Preview: Development, not wins, is most important (for now)
It’s not what Magic fans want to hear as we venture into year seven of the team’s rebuild. But even with core pieces now in place and a true sense of optimism permeating within the organization and fanbase, wins (and the playoffs) won’t be the primary focus this season. The Magic’s success instead should be measured by how players like Aaron Gordon, Jonathan Isaac and Mo Bamba progress and how new coach Steve Clifford balances each to form a cohesive unit. And with that developmental process comes intrigue and promise.
