Scott Skiles does not come to Orlando with an offensive reputation. His team’s highest finish in the league in offensive rating according to Basketball-Reference was 13th in 2012, his penultimate season where the Bucks missed the Playoffs. His best before that was his 16th place finish in his first year as head coach of the Suns.
To say the least, Skiles’ offenses have been uninspiring. And the main concern for many Magic fans was not that Skiles would not make the team better, but that his focus would only be on the defensive end.
The jury might still be out on whether Skiles can break that mold with this Magic team, a team that finished 27th in the league in offensive rating according to Basketball-Reference.
