Orlando Magic need to find out how good they are first before massive changes

Everything for the Orlando Magic is theoretical.

Paolo Banchero? A fantastic rookie year that was historical on many levels.

But the Rookie of the Year race devolved into asking whether his inefficiency will one day translate into the kind of stardom his stats suggest. Those who wanted to poke holes in the argument pointed to rookies playing more defined roles on their teams.

Franz Wagner? He backed up his rookie year with a strong sophomore season. But the narrative that Wagner can be more present on the ball persists as everyone just wants more from the forward.
