A year of sinking to the bottom followed by what feels like a landmark draft pick will do that. Fans inside the Amway Center were giddy with the selections of Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner. Orlando added an elite prospect and one of the most sought-after, versatile forwards in the draft on top of that.
Adding that to an incredibly young roster that showed some spunk even through the difficult finish to the season, there is a lot of energy around the team at the moment. Fans can at least see a higher ceiling for what this group can be.
