The Magic had a great season in 2023-24, but their Game 7 loss to the Cavaliers exposed shooting concerns. They excelled in scoring defense but struggled in shooting percentages. Paolo Banchero led the team, needing a better shooting support to advance in the postseason.
Looking ahead to the NBA Draft, the team holds 18th and 47th picks in a weak class. With $31.5 million cap space, they aim to add veterans like Paul George, Klay Thompson, Buddy Hield, and Tobias Harris for immediate contributions.
