The Orlando Magic Are One Of The Most UNDERRATED Teams In The NBA This Season…
Yo what’s up guys today man I will be talking about their little magic and how they have been and they are one of the most underrated teams in the NBA a scrappy team that gets it out of the mud and they’re currently right now sitting in the Easter Conference with a record
Of 37 to 28 and they’re currently the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with Allstar poo B KIRO Jaylen says becoming a three and D guys Jamal mosy is definitely up there for coach of the year and they have one of the best defense in the league even though they
Still have flaws on this team including shooting including a high terms of scoring guard like a high like 20 plus Point per game scoring guard they don’t have a lead playmaker that’s not paloo like they have holes on this team but they patched all that up and they’re curently the fix it right
Now in their last 10 games they are seven and three now they have lost backto Back Games prior to recording this video on Monday night but they still are in my opinion the most UNR teams in the NBA and like I mentioned earlier it really starts with the
Defense of the alen magic team as they are right now allowing the third least points in the NBA only allowing an average of 109.3 points per game this season now offensively like I said they can definitely struggle offensively but they play just like my Miami Heat in
Terms of getting it out of the mud they might not have the cleanest the most eye pleasing the most aesthetically pleasing performances and wins but they get it out of the mud and it starts with defense but their offense we’re going have to talk about it they have uh uh
They have the one two three four five they have the fifth worst offense in the NBA as they’re allowing as they are scoring I should say 11.6 points per game like I said without a lead guard M they go out and get a GU like an A Time
Can get a lead guard andly playmaker for the team that would absolutely fit like a glove for this Orlando Magic team but let’s go ahead and talk about the what the magic do have and why they are one of the better and underrated teams in
The NBA now also in terms of Defense I want to talk about uh their defensive rating now I believe they are top 10 as well in defensive rating overall as a team and I really want to give flowers to palaban KIRO guys that from last year to this year I definitely see visual
Improvement in palaban KIRO in terms especially the most underrated part of Pal games in my opinion is his playmaking he’s kind of being the lead playmaker with this Al mic team they don’t have a lead playmaker look at Jaylen he doesn’t average anywhere near even five assist game and he’s their
Starting point guard Palo KIRO early on this season I watched him in the opening game for the magic against the Rockets a lot of it was him just dissing the ball get his teammates involved not really getting his now he’s not only getting assists but he’s also getting his as
Well and so far this season across 63 games pal m is averaging 22.8 points Point per game 6.8 rebounds 5.2 assists and shooting 45.9% from the field and 35.8% three the biggest kind of glaring hole I see in palank Hero’s game is the free throw shooting you need to be a better free
Throw shooter I’ve watched a lot and I mean a lot palano this season how many times you went to the rim and got to the midrange instead of getting all the way to the rim and getting to the FR line cuz I promise you he should be getting
To the rim a lot more than he is but the fact that he’s still having a damn good season first time offer and he’s not getting to the rim as much as he honestly should have cuz that the mid-range shot is not the three-point shot is definitely the bet the best has
Been in his care reties not even two seasons but he needs to get better in my opinion at attacking the rim more I show you guys a clip the other day I saw him against uh I for maybe it was the Pistons took the ball with 90 what 94
Feet all the way to the rim instant timeout that’s an instant momentum for the magic and he just needs to do more of that uh like I said I have a couple pal want to go and show him but the most UNR part about him in my opinion is the
Playmaking and we’ve also seen really really clutch paniro as he has at a minimum three game winners this season let’s go ahead and just guante the C right here paniro I want to go and showcase this right here is paniro a clutch game 107 103 they’re up against
The uh UT Jazz at home Jay right here in the corner a little bit as well bang just read the little light double team you see Colin seon and I believe that kante George and kante George and sucks wide open and he knocks it down like I
Said I will talk about Su a little bit but I really want to show some love to palaban KIRO palaban KIRO has like I said a minimum this season of three game winners this is one of them early on against the Utah Jazz as well you got John Kaz on him takes it
All the way attacks the rim I need to see more of that from palan KIRO just some more attack of the rim he can take his threes he can take his mid-range jumpers but I definitely want to see more of a um added element to his game which is
Um driving to the rim a lot more cuz he is is big and he is strong like he should be attacking the rim but some like of the best of them in the league like yeah P with a game winner against the Bulls game I was vividly watching this
Game that P and car really struggled in another another game with recently he was really struggling the game but he didn’t let he didn’t let that affect him he they gave him the ball cuz he’s their number one option he’s the best player in the team the franchise player they
Gave him the ball they gave him the trust he was confident to take the shot and not only shoot the ball make them as well this is time against the bulls nice little uh game out here for poo and KIRO like I said a struggling game has
Alex K one of the most prolific one of the best defenders in the NBA right now currently in on the last decade in my opinion as well very very very very good Defender Alex kuso is Piro on like little kind of double team you see LaVine you see a little bit
Of Nia vuich there as well and he just goes ahead and just muscles it up gets the shooters touch and knocks it down that right there is another game M for Bano and he also has another one right here against the Pistons which people were saying might have been a
Travel again the game that he was struggling believe was like five or 17 maybe five or 16 PRI hit in the shot maybe 46 if that math equates but struggling and he goes ahead and knocks it down here he is right here have Palin hero he had as I believe
That is Jaylen Duren y Jaylen Duran guarding him takes it back goes to his move goes to his mid-range shot little hky jerky might be a questionable call it NBA ref said it was a clean call and he knocks it down Jaylen Duran’s face and one this is a
Guy that I would love to have on my team as a young uh star in the NBA remember a couple years ago they were looking back is it going to be Jamar Smith Jr of Auburn now the Rockets or is it going to be Jaylen not Jaylen
Darren Dam or is it going to be Pelin KIRO of Duke prior but now obviously the Orlando Magic now I gave a lot of flowers to palb and KIRO I also want to show some love as well to France Vagner as well the 22 year olds averaging 25
And4 on 47 47% from the field and 29.5% from the three and also 84.3% from um the free throw L as well fron is a guy that I love just cuz he takes the ball takes a 94 ft attacks to rim I love his underrated playmaking his defense also is pretty pretty underrated
As well and the three-point shot is definitely hit or miss at point to definitely be inconsistent I definitely expect him to be a lot better of a three-point shooter so I definitely need to see him improve of that but the fact that he already is a good free throw the
Fact that he is already shown showcase ability to be a really good downhill player be able to rebound the ball at a pretty good level I mean he is 610 220 I would expect him to do so but I don’t think I don’t think would to draon with
The eighth overall pick in 2021 they expected P that that they expected France Vagner to be this good like I didn’t even like really hear any much like chatter about Ron and the fact that he’s been this good this early shout out to him they have two 20 point per game
Scores even France haven’t get down Year from three like I said his ability to playmake his ability to defend his ability to go downhill is just a really damn good player and definitely a nice number two but imagine if he’s a number three with a lead guard like Anthony
Simons or somebody else maybe a d’o Russell again he fits both modes a 20 point prame score lead playmaker I’m just saying but I want some love jayen sucks who was transition into a three and D guy prior to the season we really were wondering what is going to happen
With jayen suck is he the franchise guy for the magic they Dred how many guards they have Marquel FZ jayen sucks now Anthony black is J Howard guard or is he a small forward um Anthony distat in the third Jaylen sucks is a foundational piece for for this magic team he’s one
Of the most underrated defenders in the NBA and he needs to be up there as well for uh all for an all defensive team he’s average right now 123 and two 46% from the field 39% from three and 75% from the free throw line he’s a guy that
Either in that point guard shot shooting guard role can be the foundational guy for this ear magic team just gives them and just he’s the heart and soul of this magic team he’s has that energy he’s he just brings it every single night which I love about J say he’s that energy high
Energy guy when he’s hitting his threes when he’s doing his job defensively this a really entertaining player to watch shout out to Jaylen sucks only 22 years old he’s been in the league now believe this is his third year in the league we’re really seeing why he was the fifth
Overall pick in 2021 T sucks really reging really well into that three in the role it really kind of feels he’s one of the veterans of this team but he’s only 22 years old so that is very very interesting to be quite Frank by
Bad right now it’s C the NFL R kind of looking at my watch to see if the Patriots my favorite team goes and go ahead goes ahead and does something but uh we’ll just wait and hopefully son really but that’s beside the point all right so wiow Carter Jun is one another
Guy I want to highlight he at a point this season his job was in question to traded I had a point as well there were actually some Rumblings is could he have his job taken by Goa baz and that was that was that was real let’s call it
Spade of spade it was real he’s bounced back and to be quite Frank man wend card has been very underrated since coming back from the injury in terms of getting his feet with and um wow I saw that Joe Mixon is gone out of uh Cincinnati wow
That’s pretty shocking to be quite Frank but say on point one quter only 20 only 24 years old acquired him the be straight with fron Vagner as well um they they select them France with the pick that they end get back to for pick from uh the Bulls for vich when Carter
Jor is averaging 11 uh just about seven 1.6 assist shooting 53 53.3% from the field and shooting 40.5% from the three-point line also 72.5% from the fre thr line as well uh window Carter e three-point shot has literally came out of seemly nowhere he’s always been a solid three-point shter but the fact
That on almost three three-point shot attempts per game he’s shooting upwards of 40% from three shout shout out to Wendell shout out to Wendell Wendell Carter is a guy in my opinion should definitely be a double double machine I definitely need to see wend Carter Jr um become a better
Rebound I know he’s playing on a team with frons and when uh fron and Pao and guys that just get bored stuff like that but wi quter is definitely a guy I think has has the ability to become a double double machine at the NBA level and be a
Pretty damn good three machine well no I don’t expect B cter to be a 40% three-point shoo I them to be around like a 34 37 maybe three-point shooter I mean he was 35 last year 32 the year before that even before that he was 24 so hey another guy that’s really young
At 24 years old tell to Wi Carter and to wrap up the starting five for the magic you have Gary Harris the veteran of this team was acquiring that Aaron Gordon trade he averaging 71 And1 on 46% from the field and 38.2% from the three he’s
A guy that has lined up really needs of the shooting guard position because he provides you with that three-point shooting like I mentioned earlier the magic are one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the NBA and they have one of the worst offenses buy points per
Game in the NBA as well which is why it’s amazing to have a guy like Gary Harris that come up that can really not come up not come off your bench which he was early on in the season but now starting and just provides you with that shooting getting up around four
Three-pointers a game getting uh about 40% of those shots to go win I mean you need that you need that from Gary haris he provides you with that shooting and he’s just a veteran uh just gives you exactly what you need Co Anthony come coming off your bench was really early on the
Season he’s definitely calm down but he still provides you with that op off your bench he’s a pretty solid playmaker giving you 1143 on 42.8% from the field 31% from three definitely needs to be a lot better from three like I said it was a really hot early on the season but now
He’s definitely cooled off also shooting 82.8% from the free L as well also got to give an attention to this um offseason definitely they hope that he can p out he’s only 23 years old as well by the way really really really young magic team he was the 15th overall pick
In 2020 out of uh UNC if Anthony black a guy that um was really intriguing this NBA draft just because of his defensive uh prowess and defensive abilities but the fact that he’s developed this early into being not only a solid three-point shooter but they really good three-point
Shooter really started that one game against the wizard but they went ahead and left them open and he absolutely Tour St it felt like ever since that his confidence has been up he is 672 he was the number six overall pick in the 2023 MBA draft out of Arkansas is only 20
Years old he’s a 2004 born player like this is insane I was born in 02 I feel oh this man is 20 I’m 21 that is crazy he’s averaging around five points a game two rebounds 1.5 assists shooting 46.1% from the field and 39.5 for 73 in about
18 minutes per game this is a guy that you definitely seen the confidence go ahead and open up early on the season he wasn’t really um uh didn’t have the confidence I would say to develop not develop but Jack up threes to be quite Frank and now we’re seeing a less of a
Resistance and he’s definitely getting his three points up so shout out to Anthony black definitely interested to see how he develops especially as I said they might go after in my opinion at least a lead guard what is that lead for Anthony black um but hey we’ll
Definitely see in terms of all of that they could definitely uh use another guard I guess cuz that’s just what the magic Lov they just love drafting guards and bigs now we mentioned France Vagner earlier I want to mention Mo Vagner as well I feel like he’s one of the most underrated backup
BS in the NBA uh he’s only 26 years old he’s the number 25 pick in 2018 putting up 11 points per game putting up four rebounds one assist 59.5% from the field and 31.9% from three while also shooting 80.3% from the freedo line I really think he’s one of the best backup bigs
In the league um he’s definitely guy that plays a lot of edge a guy that you definitely want on your team but if he’s playing against you you probably hate his guts kind of like that Patrick Beverly roow he’s just he just brings it every single day um but you need you
Need kind of like an enforcer and that’s kind of what MO vogner is for the magic team he pretty good in pick and roll at attack in the rim and he’ll hit the occasional three like I said shoting around 32% from three on around 1.4 attempts he’s can rebound the ball
Pretty solid as well and he also had the team chemistry obviously fron vogner’s brothers so you have all of that as well shout out to Mo V like definitely one of the most underrated backup bigs in the NBA definitely nice cohesive piece that that all magic team definitely needs
They also have goo Bazi as well who was really impactful uh early on the season when they had that streak with W Carter Jr out kind of almost took W Carter Jr’s shot but W Carter was like no I got to get my job back I gotta get my bread
Back come on he got his roll back now go B is kind of being like the hype man for this uh um any other the Pacers not any the Pacers or magic team much said my bad um yeah shout out to him uh you also have Marco F averaging 8 three and three
49% from the field and shooting a whopping 10% from three uh the three point shot for uh Marco fols definitely is not there whatsoever I mean he’s really just the guy that attacks the rim he has the mid-range shot shalot playmaker solid Defender uh just I think
The writing’s on of wall for Marco I don’t think he’s a return to this magic team they just went ahead and draft anthy black they have Coan they have jayen suck they might go after to lead guard uh is obviously like I keep mentioning other that’s Mark not Mark k
I me not not of rumor about Klay Thompson for shooting but not for his playmaking obvious he’s not Elite playmaker he’s definitely can be a good score for this magic team maybe potentially in a six-man roll I don’t know what’s going to happen with clay in that six-man roll cuz P just still
Starting over him I mean we’ll see I guess we’ll see about all of that uh let’s have Caleb Houston as well is averaging 4 One and shooting 39% from the field shooting uh 37% another guy that just comes comes off their bench and has the ability to knock down threes at
6’8 so shout out to him they have J Howard as well who just really has not been getting minutes at all for this magic team is the number 11 pick out of Michigan the uh son of heat Legend and uh probably a Michigan fans on the Hades
Guts because they [ __ ] wreak um Jawan Howard um yeah that’s tough I’ll be quite Frank that’s tough I mean at least Joan Howard got to coach his son um J Howard in college but o j was pretty good in college he’s not really getting any
Minutes at the NBA level really at the G League like mainly not really getting minutes at all Jing one point point4 rebounds point2 assist 36.4% from the field his three-point percentage is at 29% play limited Miss not really getting any minutes at all he’s definitely got to can bolster them in terms of
Three-point shooting he’s not really getting minutes at all with the to see why it’s not happening but I guess I’m not a GM so that gets it’s not my um kind of uh decision to make I guess they also have the veteran of this team the 36-year-old Joe Engles who again is one
Of the shooters that they desperately need shooting really well this year from three averaging Four Points two rebounds three assists shoting 42.2% from the field always a guy that always felt was a pretty underrated playmaker another veteran guy for this team uh shooting 41.7% from the three-point line you’re also shooting
82.6% from the free throw line another guy that gets uh around 20 minutes per game and just gives this magic team a jolt in ter of being able to playmake I always feel like he was also underrated attack in the rim even after tearing his ACO um and just being another good
Three-point shooter as well nice veteran team get the veteran leadership and gives you that three-point shooting what what can go wrong with Joe Engles man what can go wrong with Joe Engles and then you also have the 26- yearold defensive absolute Beast Jonathan Isaac who right now um actually not he’s
Actually active right now but I should say earlier he was injured and he just recently uh was um fully healthy so shout out to John N I don’t want to give a shout to John because it’s off the court but the defender Jonathan Isaac is definitely a good player I’ll leave it
At that um the 26y old 6’10 to30 averaging uh six points four rebounds point4 assist shooting 49.3% from the field shooting 33.8% from three obviously know joh ask for being an absolute offensive demon there’s a couple of games this season where he has had so much momentum for this magic team
Just providing them with not instant offense but with instant defense as a guy I can definitely see developing into a three andd guy so just played a game recently against the Pacers last night Rec this video 19 minutes shot three or four from three nine points seven
Rebounds two blocks a guy that can just provide you with instant defense especially if he’s h a three-point shot Jonathan Isaac man definitely going to be one of the Premier 3 andd Guys in this League um he’s averaging us block he’s averaging 1.2 blocks per game
In and 15 minutes also 7 blocks per game as well in 15 minutes as well shout out almost keep wanting to say shout out to Jonathan Isaac but I can’t say shout out to Jonathan isic because it’s off the court not a political guy but uh
Yeah magic are also $ 34.3 million under the LA under the tax and they have $5 million in c space they also have a pleth their first round picks and they really haven’t traded any of them so they can make us SLS off as well right
Now in my opinion I feel like they were one of the most underrated teams in the NBA with poo maniro Jamal mosy has to be update for coach of the year I like fron vogner Jaylen sus 3 and d uh they are definitely cooking with that wend Carter three-point shooter um Anthony black
Potentially being another one of those three and D guys hopefully they can develop J Howard this is a very young team but they should have a pretty good amount of cast bace to make a big time move like as maybe like like Anthony Simons get a lead guard got to can put
Up 20 points per game that can just take just olivate the pressure off of apulo in particular but France vogner as well imagine a starting five of let’s say Anthony Simons Jaylen sugs you got France vogner poo B KIRO and wend cor you have the defense you have the
Offense you have it all and that in my opinion would feed families okay but other than that yo that is the video go down below drop a like comment down below sub up follow me on Twitch Twitter and Tik Tok s boy John hopefully you guys enjoy the video and I’m out man
