26. Orlando Magic
It hasn’t been an ideal start for the Orlando Magic this season and they’ve dropped eight of the first 10 games. They have a bottom-five offense and a bottom-five defense. That’s not exactly the recipe for success in the NBA. Still, there is some optimism for Orlando based on how their rookies have looked to start the year.
25. Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder has two really young exciting players that they should feel good about the season. Watching them grow and develop is what this year should be all about for the Thunder.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey have the potential to be two cornerstones for this franchise. It’ll be interesting to see how their chemistry together on the floor will develop as the season goes on.
