UNDEFEATED: Orlando Magic show PROMISE in preseason | Concerns still LINGER ahead of opener
The Orlando Magic raced past the New Orleans Pelicans to finish their preseason undefeated.
In doing so, they showed all of their potential, including their stunning new-look offense. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero dominated and looked ready to start the season as the Magic’s passing attack has changed their ceiling.
But there are still some concerns as the team’s defense has not rounded into its elite form yet. The Magic were able to outscore the Pelicans this time, but they have to clean up some things before the games count next week.

407 all the way this year so happy for magic 💙
GO MAGIC!
Loved seeing AB making an effort to get in a rhythm from 3
When we play this way we need better stopping the ball coming back at us. Jalen can't come back soon enough.
Jalen is the final X factor for this team.
Excited for the new season!! But still concerned with Paolo getting the ball stripped handling the ball :/
Go phillip! phillip for 3!
Great show Philip. My main concern is how the Magic are using Bane. Or not using him. Coach is already taking him out of his comfort zone and not setting him up for success. If they can’t figure this thing out it’s KCP 2.0.
Desmond Bane needs to touch the ball more so he can build ridum and get hot quick, i believe the reason he was the main scorer in Memphis is because he was the main player touching the ball so that made him build ridum and get hot and score more… the truth is Paolo and Franz are the main players that are gonna be touching the ball and these past games u can tell Bane is not in ridum bcs he is barely touching the ball.. they need to let Desmond touch the ball more and then you would see how effective of a scorer he is!!
Is Suggs playing in the opener?
MAGIC= CONTENDER !!!
