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
Them boys long as hell. Love the pieces they have
When do Orlando play Minnesota?
Going to be a 84 - 87 point bloodbath
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
Isnt wendell carter jr supposed to be their best defender?
Doesn’t count you played the bulls twice already, juked the stats
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
We gotta make the playoffs this year man. The defense is real.
You did hold us to 117 , so yea that’s a good defense… fuck I wish we had a defense
Duh
Who anchors that defense.
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.
