The Magic's Offense

[SOUL]

It's really difficult to read too much into his rebounding numbers, and I wouldn't worry too much about it because the Magic's rebounding percentages have improved during his time with the Magic. There are only so many rebounds to go around, and you can certainly swipe them from teammates. I would imagine that his numbers rebounding numbers have dipped as he has moved his offensive game further from the basket, but the team's rebounding percentages haven't suffered for it.

Yeah, I'm not worried about his raw numbers... but he does seem to go up a bit weaker now. I remember last season being a bit disappointed by either his effort or positioning against smaller, not really athletic bigs that would get boards over him.

Agreed but what we both saw led to the decrease in the raw numbers last year.

Another thing to keep in mind is that good defense creates offense. If these guys can play up to even some of their potential on defense it's going to create easy baskets in transition.
