In their years of rebuilding, the Orlando Magic have constantly struggled in one key area: Identity.
Since Dwight Howard left, the team has lacked a star to lead them. When a team lacks such a star, they need a common identifier to hang their hat on. Whether it is being the running team, the defensive team, even if it is being a team of dunkers, multiple NBA personalities have often spoken about the importance of identity. They need a unique identifier to differentiate them from the pack and for the players to buy into.
