I think depending on the matchup would be Slim/Penda/TDS as TDS will be playing backup at SF as well. Unless, Franz spends time at PF which I do not want to see.

We panicked last season and Franz stepped up.
Now…if Franz end up getting the same injury as Paolo this time around then something funny is definitely going on in this organization.

You think we activate Orlando/Castleton? Have WCJ play the 4 which he wants and have one of them be the 3rd C behind JI/Goga?

I would chance that as well. Could do well with the backup unit. Wish Moe was here.

The way Mos has ran his rotations in the past, he doesn't elevate someone from the 2nd unit, because he prefers to keep his 2nd unit rotations intact.
So, yes, it is possible that we play Penda, but I think this more likely goes to JI. Cause JI wasn't even part of the regular rotation of the 2nd unit anyway.
JI that can only play in 5 minute spurts? i hope not

The Magic have a statistical base that is already strong enough to support a fifty two win season if a few efficiency areas tighten up.
Orlando 14th in FG%
17th in FGA
24th in 3ptA
23rd in 3pt% (not last, hoorah)
1st in FTA
14th in FT%
sums to 1st in FT made per game
13th in ORB per game
12th in DRB per game
11th in TRB per game
24th in assists per game
22nd in MPG
11th in turnovers per game (30th is best)
11th in personal fouls per game (30th is best)
17th in points per game
17th in defensive rating
My thoughts:
Get turnovers from 16.3 per game down to below 14pg.
Keep the elite free throw volume and solid percentage.
Beyond that, stay the course. That should be good for a 3 or 4 seed. I would think.

With all due respect for people who write stuff like this, Magic over first 5 games played 4 teams who still have positive record.
Over last 8 games, Magic played 6 teams with losing records, including Nets and Wizards who are on serious pace to become some of worst teams nba ever had. Wizards are already making history with worst point differential ever seen.
10-72 , 76ers had -10,2 point differential
Current 1-11 Wizards have -16,2
Worst in history is -15,2
By just beating them by 31 it's enough to give you different perspective over small sample because it messes up upper margin.
Next 12 games, starting from Houston, will tell us more about actual strenght of Magic team.
