NBA Power Rankings: At what point do we worry about the Cleveland Cavaliers
11. Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic have been a pleasant surprise this season. They’re somewhat of a feel good story too. This was a team that appeared dead in the water as a franchise last season.
So far this season, they’ve gotten off to an 8-5 start and Aaron Gordon is starting to live up to the extremely unfair expectations that were placed on him when he was drafted a few years ago. Gordon is averaging 19 points and eight rebounds per game thus far.
It’s likely unfair to ask the Magic to continue on this pace for the remainder of the season, but the improvements have to be a welcome sight for Orlando fans.
