During the broadcast of Friday’s Summer League opener, the broadcasters noted their discussion with Orlando Magic assistant coach Pat Delany was all about the team’s defense. The broadcasters joked that he did not even mention offense or scoring.
With the players the Magic are focusing on and featuring on this Summer League roster, that makes perfect sense.
Jonathan Isaac and Mohamed Bamba have been the talk of the Summer League with their devastating length in the paint and defense. Orlando has been a frenzied defensive team, pressuring everyone they can find and making it hard to operate even the simplest offensive sets.
