There was some shock and surprise when Wesley Iwundu was the first player off the Orlando Magic’s bench in the first quarter. The Orlando Magic were down nine points at that early stage and seemed to be struggling defensively with the Toronto Raptors’ pick and roll game. It was the same thing on repeat throughout this four-game losing streak.
Wesley Iwundu was not quite the player anyone expected in this spot. Usually, that wing substitution goes to Jonathon Simmons. And it seemed strange to take him out of the rotation with how much better he was playing of late.
