Top 4 seed in the East but not yet contenders. Magic fans are realistic and not delusional like other team fans. ECF is our ceiling but in Paolo’s 4th-5th season you can say contenders by that time
Possibly. They play very well against the Celtics, and are only getting better. If they beat Cavs in game 7, it would have been interesting. KCP is a great edition. Great 🏆 experience, great defense, great shooting. This team will be a defensive MONSTER. They were already great tbh
They probably didn’t get much attention because of all those years of missing the playoffs. But I agree. Hopefully when the schedule gets released they get more nationally televised games.
Paolo has only had one nationally televised game which is extremely rare for a 1st overall pick (average is around 8 games in rookie year) much less a player who won rookie of the year and was an all star in their 2nd year.
Jett, AB, and Tristan showed they are ready to contribute to an already talented roster. Going to be interesting how the rotations shake out. They are legit 14 deep.
i just hope orlando will get the upgrades they need so they dont waste banchero and wagner time being here. it killed me when the shaq left because orlando wanted to be cheap and when stan van gundys teram went down. 1 thing with our magic they dont get that star that they needs to get to next level. we have a nice young team just hope the devos does the right thing because in the past they wanted to be cheap and u cant win a championship being cheap just look at the last 10 years of championship none of them were cheap
as an magic fan my whole life, i have seen the magic with trash seasons, and the season before paolo was drafted i could tell this was the magics next come up
I’m a Knicks fan so I know all about rooting for trash teams 😭 I think the Magic will eventually be contenders depending on how quickly the young players develop.
.Deepest team in the NBA with the best defenders. If they can make some 3's, the Magic are going to be contending for a title in the next couple of years. Great video
All of that and no mention of Anthony black or jett Howard, just shows how bright the future is for the magic. I think they’re still a year away from true contention though
Great video !!! I am going to mention our 6'11 Mo Wagner who handles the dirty work and Coach Mose ! He did a fantastic job. Team just needs to keep growing and playing together !!
It comes down to 3% tbh. I'm less concerned about shooting and making more then I am with shooting the same amount just making more. I ran the numbers one time and we are actually a much better team the less 3's we take. Had something like a 65% W% when we made above league avg 3%. But we werent that good of a team when we MADE more because we didnt necessarily shoot a great % and ended up taking more.
Fifty wins and up is likely but the conference is tight and other teams improved too. Fourth seed is very possible but the Celtics don't look vulnerable so I'm not sure anyone else in the east is a title contender.
Everybody is sleeping hard on Orlando and what they have going on and I've never seen a #1 Pick like Banchero who has gone completely under the radar with what he's done already. Their defense alone is gonna be #1
KCP appears to be becoming this generations Robert Horry (5 championships)! If KCP sees something in the Magic, I’m not betting against KCP, unless they face the Knicks!
KCP going to the Magic will make them a playoff lock but they won’t do anything outside of maybe a second round exit. Love the team though and want them to get better
Not to mention, Tristan will take Ingles minutes, AB will take Fultz' minutes, and Jett can piece in here and there just like Caleb Houstan last season. I would imagine that AB and Tristan have some clear pathway for minutes this upcoming season. Jett and Caleb Houstan are going to have to fight for their roles. Looking at it long term, I don't think we keep both Jett and Caleb.
Kcp a defensive stud..but I didn't see orlando add a scorer and playmaker at point gaurd and that's what Paolo asked for. Orlando still lacks that threat at gaurd that can get hot and light it up..Not sure why they dont go after Trae young..have KCP come off the bench
Good point, Orlando coulda made a run for a point guard but I think they’re hoping Jalen Suggs makes more offensive strides. They’re also banking on the growth of Franz Wagner.
This is why Boston had to get that ring this year. Orlando was catching up as far as team development with this new free agent in draft pick I don’t think many gone be able to compete with Orlando
I don’t see brown,Tatum,white,Hartford,holiday, beating Wagner, banchero, kcp, Suggs Carter, with a bench that include Issac Silva, Anthony, Black, Houston, Wagner. every body can shoot three and play d.. that’s all u need…… last year draft pieces might be the smartest players in that draft. to dominate the way they have year 2 summer league while making this year draft pick job easier let’s me know all I need to know bout this year minus injury’s.! If coach don’t get it done Mr lebron James will come to get the job done. No way he leave with out winning a ring watch the play
"Legit Title Contender" is an elite level reach. Franz is too inconsistent. Guard play is not strong enough. Orlando benefitted from an enormous amount of injuries throughout the conference. Boston, NY, Philly, Milwaukee... top 4. Indiana gets a full year of Pascal, Cleveland is still there. So like last year they'll be competing for 5-7 which isn't "the biggest Surprise next season"
It seems like the Magic have an entire team composed of the same player - above average height, defense, ability to hit 3's. They went into the offseason looking to add a real PG and C...instead they added more of the same. I guess Suggs will be the starting PG who just hands it off to Franz? WCJ and Goga handling C with Issacs getting major minutes off the bench at other positions would be great, but how long will WCJ and Issacs last?

Will the Orlando Magic be contenders next season?
Absolutely
They may contend for the top seed.

@@112233JORDAN yes I know still being realistic tho. It will take one more year of development
Let's hope the world can see this team more next year. It was an injustice the number of times they were on national television last season.
They probably didn’t get much attention because of all those years of missing the playoffs. But I agree. Hopefully when the schedule gets released they get more nationally televised games.
Small market teams always get overlooked
Paolo has only had one nationally televised game which is extremely rare for a 1st overall pick (average is around 8 games in rookie year) much less a player who won rookie of the year and was an all star in their 2nd year.
The one time they played on National Tv besides the last couple playoff games.
Preach
Jett, AB, and Tristan showed they are ready to contribute to an already talented roster. Going to be interesting how the rotations shake out. They are legit 14 deep.
I watch every game such a die hard and have not abandoned my team. I cry thinking about that day when we win it all for the first time.
@@levittperez
They’ll certainly have a shot at winning it all the way they’re headed.
I can’t wait for them to win I been Scott skiles terry cathledge and them boys. Talking about day one.
i just hope orlando will get the upgrades they need so they dont waste banchero and wagner time being here. it killed me when the shaq left because orlando wanted to be cheap and when stan van gundys teram went down. 1 thing with our magic they dont get that star that they needs to get to next level. we have a nice young team just hope the devos does the right thing because in the past they wanted to be cheap and u cant win a championship being cheap just look at the last 10 years of championship none of them were cheap
Great video. Good job. 50-55 wins and a playoff series win. Another year or two of growth and we will be contenders.
Thanks alot man
Great breakdown. You already know more about this team than 90% of dudes talking on TV
Thanks alot man
Paolo & Franz 🏀🔥🙌

I agree 100%
Kcp and suggs together are going to be top tier defense in the league
It’s gonna be 🔒 ⬆️
AB and Jett will be bringing it as well..... future is bright!!!

Magic fan here. You are right. Goal is 2nd round and maybe ECF if possible
Or Mo
more than a year away, but still in great position

55 Wins!!!

This year has to be our year!
It could be if enough players improve
Magic will be contenders in 2 to 3 years! Also where did you get those posters and frames?
@@TShoooo I got the posters from Amazon & the frames from Michaels.

damn. u just made me feel better about my own team haha. thank you sir.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video man
hopefully the media will finally start appreciating this team
@@RyanRepiedad If they keep winning the media will have too!
Everybody is sleeping hard on Orlando and what they have going on and I've never seen a #1 Pick like Banchero who has gone completely under the radar with what he's done already.
Their defense alone is gonna be #1
@@Adizzle321 Yup. If the Magic keep rising up the standings people will have to pay attention.
KCP appears to be becoming this generations Robert Horry (5 championships)! If KCP sees something in the Magic, I’m not betting against KCP, unless they face the Knicks!
KCP is the type of role player every contender needs to have
Orlando can beat The Knicks
Robert horry has 7 rings actually
The magic would wipe the floor with the Knicks. 3-1 against them last season, I watched them absolutely dismantle them
@@Harry_Cox69facts especially the Knicks employ Randle they will never be taken seriously until they trade Randle
theyll make to the finals fo sho!
@@BOOPTUBERR I can see it happening!
KCP going to the Magic will make them a playoff lock but they won’t do anything outside of maybe a second round exit. Love the team though and want them to get better

Caleb can go bye bye tuhday!!
They will be top 4 in the east and top5 in defense in the nba
Very possible
In 2 years the East is gonna be run by the pacers and Magic

Im a knicks fan but why is no one talking about the magic as much?
It’s what happens when a team spends too much time in the basement. They’re turning it around tho.

LeBron to the Magic? That would shock everyone lol
Can we just sign Tyus Jones already… and wrap up our offseason.
I think you’re overrated Tyus. He'll will be demanding starting minutes, which Orlando will not be willing to give to a 6'0" PG with no defense.
You lost me at “legitimate title contenders”
Hey anything is possible! Lol
KCP made 32% of his 3 in PO....
KCP won two rings in the PO
