The NBA season is still two months away from getting started with training camps, but already there is a clear sense of excitement in Orlando for what is coming up.
The Orlando Magic had a strong finish to the season and seemed like they took some steps forward as a team. The arrival of Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero has already helped raise expectations for the team and the group of young players who seemed to take clear steps forward have only added to the anticipation.
After a decade following the Dwight Howard trade without much direction or even hopes for a prolonged playoff run, it really does feel like the Magic are on the precipice of something sustainable.
