2026-2027 Orlando Magic Regular Season Thread

Bane is at 10 3s attempts per game (4th in the NBA) making 39% despite a slow start. He is an elite shooter and Sweeney uses him as such. One way to make us a better shooting team is more shots for few good shooters we have on our roster.

Bane has been quite terrible at pretty much everything except 3 point shooting this year, he has been unable to get by defenders, he has had no lift, he has made like 3 contested layups in total all year, he is shooting below 40% on 2 pointers, his passing has been mediocre at best, he has struggled on D, he has barely gotten to the line except in few close games he was fouled intentionally late, etc. But the power of high volume 3 point shooting and his well deserved rep as an elite shooter is such that his individual and impact stats look decent. Obviously we still need a lot more from him though, he needs to get back to last year's physical shape, get to the rim and the line more and create more for his teammates.

On top of all of that... I haven't really loved his body language either

He's had a pouty look a lot of the time.
