The plus-sized playmaking duo of Wagner and Banchero promises to propel the Magic to the playoffs in the years to come

Primary among the bright spots has been the oft-scintillating play of the franchise’s two prized forwards, sophomore Franz Wagner and the first overall pick, rookie Paolo Banchero.
