Every Orlando Magic Participant’s High Power Via Workforce’s First 30 Video games This Season

The free throw price is kind of extraordinary for a 20-year-old rookie (was 19 at begin of season). Proper now, Banchero is averaging 8.5 foul photographs per contest. Solely 19 rookies in NBA historical past averaged eight or extra. However the one one who’s accomplished it since 1994 is Blake Griffin in 2010-11. Shaquille O’Neal did it with the Magic in 1992-93 (in case you had been questioning if any Magic rookie has ever accomplished it). 

Manu Ginobili 2.0? And Wagner, simply 21, is 4 inches taller than the previous Spurs nice. Wagner weaves in and round visitors maybe higher than anybody else within the league as we speak. There isn’t an angle he can’t make a driving shot from. His endurance is essential, too. The German ahead’s 112 made driving photographs to date this season ranks sixth. The one gamers who’ve made extra to date are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson, Trae Younger, and Ja Morant.

Only a actually good recreation supervisor. He’s probably the greatest drive-and-kick guards within the league, which is why since his return on Nov. 30 from a toe damage the Magic rank within the prime eight in kickout 3-point makes an attempt. He takes care of the ball and he’s a terrific pull-up mid-range shooter. From 15 to 19 toes out, he’s made 9 of his 16 makes an attempt this season (56.3 %). 

It’s going beneath the radar a bit, however Bamba is near having a 50/40 season. He’s taking pictures precisely 50 % total and 39.1 % from 3-point vary. Amongst all facilities who’ve taken at the very least 60 threes, that’s the fourth-best proportion. Above him on that listing are Al Horford, Myles Turner, and Brook Lopez.

A jack-of-all-trades on offense, however his capacity to maneuver his toes on the perimeter on protection might be his greatest power. Just a few stats to notice: In pick-and-rolls during which Carter switched onto the ball handler, Luka Doncic made simply two of his 9 photographs; Trae Younger missed each of his photographs; as did Devin Booker; and LaMelo Ball made simply one in all his three makes an attempt (all 3-point photographs). On practically all of these photographs, Carter stored the opponent in entrance of him. 

All-out hustle, combined with some artful play and stable outdoors taking pictures. Throughout this present five-game successful streak, Moe Wagner leads the group in deflections, expenses drawn, and is tied with Fultz in defensive free balls recovered. 

Most likely the Magic’s finest point-of-attack defender. That soccer mentality exhibits in all features of his recreation. Attention-grabbing is the disparity between his taking pictures off the catch versus his pull-up leap taking pictures. He has the group’s worst catch-and-shoot proportion at 22.5 %, however the group’s finest pull-up proportion at 47 %. 

An important tough-shot maker. He has a knack for attending to his candy spots regardless of how tight the protection is. Like Suggs, Anthony is significantly better taking pictures off the dribble than he’s off the catch.

At his finest when he’s in a position to get out into the open ground and use his blazing velocity. He brings nice vitality and is enjoying much more beneath management than final season. 

If the Magic gave out recreation balls after wins, Okeke would have most likely earned it after the victories over Dallas and Phoenix earlier this season. His protection on Doncic and Booker was nice. Whereas all the time a group effort, Okeke performed a giant half in Doncic taking pictures 9-of-29 from the sector and Booker taking pictures 6-of-19. 

His actions and taking pictures contact are simply merely distinctive for somebody his peak. He’s had some jaw-dropping moments this season, together with within the Magic’s current win over the Hawks when he spun on De’Andre Hunter after which proceeded to make use of a step-through for his coast-to-coast two-handed dunk.

He’s been cold and warm from 3-point vary all through the season, however the consideration he instructions on the perimeter opens alternatives for his teammates. 

There’s not a lot to essentially take away from six video games, however the truth of the matter is Harris has the group’s finest 3-point proportion (43.5 %). 

Unsure what all of it means, however it’s price noting that within the Magic’s wins during which he performed, Houstan was a plus-30. The Golden State (plus-11) and Dallas (plus-10) wins stand out essentially the most. 

He’s tremendous bodily and unafraid to sacrifice his physique.  He’s tied with Moe Wagner for essentially the most expenses drawn on the group with 4 of them. 

A real “bell play” specialist. He dives on the ground for free balls, deflects passes, and throws his physique into the paint to attempt to generate second probability scoring alternatives.
