Orlando Magic

Record Prediction: 35-47

I honestly don’t know how this team is going to look in…say…two weeks, when the NBA regular season starts.

They made the offseason acquisitions of Bismack Biyombo, Jeff Green and Serge Ibaka, but I’m not exactly sure if that really makes this team all that better. I suppose it will help their interior defense, and perhaps their spacing (Ibaka), but I don’t know if that will necessarily equate to more wins.

Though, I’m sure that Frank Vogel will do what he does best and get the most out of the roster that he’s been handed. I don’t know where the scoring is going to come from, but you’d expect this team to at least be an above average defensive unit.
