There is a fair amount of disappointment with the Orlando Magic’s current 30-43 record. The team started out 19-13 and collapsed in the 2016 calendar year. The defense fell off and the team struggled.
No one wanted to use youth as an excuse. This was a group that had suffered through three years of losing and was hungry to win. The franchise brought in a coach that demanded accountability and had a track record for whipping young, inexperienced teams into shape.
The Magic, as Skiles put it continually, would use their youth to their advantage. They would push the pace and be constantly on the attack.
