REVISITED: What will STICK from Orlando Magic's preseason debut | Looming BATTLE at center

The Orlando Magic are still basking a bit in a breakthrough performance in their first preseason game. The Magic's offense genuinely impressed and it feels like something the Magic can replicate and build on.There is, of course, plenty to work on. As good as the Magic were and as open as the shots they got, the Magic are unlikely to make 21 of 45 from three again. Their defense showed signs of strength, but also fouled a lot. The team can still refine itself.But if the Magic's goal was to play fast and physical, they accomplished that in their opening game.There are still a lot of questions. The biggest will be the battle for who is the backup center.Goga Bitadze gives the team the defensive anchor it is looking for at center while Nikola Vucevic is still a reliable shooter and scorer. Both will have a role to play this season. And the Magic will have to decide what they are willing to gamble on with whoever wins this battle.The other development from Wednesday's game was the emergence of Franz Wagner as a lead creator and initiator. This is an aspect of Wagner's game they have rarely relied on. Wednesday was proof he can take on that bigger role and unlock something else in the Magic's offense.00:00 Magic's impressive offensive performance07:04 Magic's defensive strategies analyzed15:28 Lineup changes and rotation battles19:37 Deciding player roles and strategy26:33 Magic's offensive stats breakdown30:58 Franz's role and strategySupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedListeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at http://Indeed.com/podcast.BetterhelpThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
