Both players have been eager to learn. That is the first step. The next step is playing with energy and contributing on defense, the key to any player getting time for the Magic this season.
They will get their chance as the Magic open their preseason Saturday against the Miami Heat. It will be an early test and checkup on the Magic’s identity and the changes they hope to make this season.

Jase needs to add 15-20 lbs
I think Jase is going to make teams regret passing him. He has a fantastic skillset and plays bigger than he is with his ability to finish. Penda looks like a guy that will hang around the league with his willingness to play defense, energy, imposing physique, and ball handling.
Jase went against Big 10 bigs who are really big and strong. Adding weight will help but what Jase did well in the summer league is what he did in the Big 10. He finished extremely well in both venues against Big strong guys. He has a 6'1" frame but a 6'6" wingspan so he finishes at the top of his reach really well or at 6'7". That is why he led the Big 10 in finishing and will do well when he adjusts to NBA speed (the key). Summer league showed he can shoot three's. If that continues he will be a steal at 26 and prove he should have been drafted in the lottery. (Probably top 10). Where we missed with Howard ( hope that changes) I see Richardson as a plus. Penda may take a little longer due to experience.
