Description

The Orlando Magic, led by coach Jamahl Mosley, are making a name for themselves in the NBA with their exceptional defense, ranked sixth in the league. Key players Wendell Carter Jr. and Franz Wagner excel in defending the pick and roll, allowing just 0.78 points per direct pick. Wagner, in particular, is a standout two-way player, while Carters offensive growth, including improved three-point shooting, complements his strong defensive presence. The teams defense-first mentality has propelled them to a 15-11 record, with other players like Anthony Black and Desmond Bane contributing significantly.
