With the fourth youngest roster at 24.5 average age the Magic are suffocating teams with a defensive rating of 106.4.

Led by Suggs who’s 3rd in Defensive EPM, Goga Bitadze who’s 5th, Frans who’s 12th and Issac who is 30th.

This teams effort and length on the defensive end is unmatched. 7th in Net rating as well. I still think they are a year or two behind OKC but this is a very promising young roster who has a lot of financial flexibility in the near future. Jamahl Mosley should be the front runner for COTY

    As expected, the Spencer Dinshittie-led team has scored the most points against them so far.

    Goga Bitadze needs more credit. He is legitimately an amazing defender. Had 5 points 6 assists 7 rebounds 2 steals and 5 blocks last night against the Raptors

    Im think carter should come off the bench because he can score and create. But i think he was suppoosed to be their defensive centerpiece to start the season. I think metrics and stats say hes a good defender or something

    Cannot wait till our teams play each other! Gonna be a grind it out defensive game. Both teams have length. Going to be so fun, love seeing the Magic and other young teams have success this season

    Thought they were good last year too, just had horrible injuries

    I love defensive teams, its great that Orlando found their identity.

    Looking forward to Boston @ Orlando.
