Orlando Magic History 

The Magic has become an impressive franchise. Founded in 1988 the team has reached the playoffs 17 times in their 35-year existence. Most young franchises struggle to have playoff success but the Magic have avoided this stereotype. In the 2023-24 season, the team had a record of 47-35 and a 5th-place finish in the East. The Magic had a net rating of 2.1 which ranked 15th in the league. This perfectly average rating did not come from average offensive and defensive play. The team has the second-rated defense in the league paired with a 22nd-rated offense, this imbalance led to a 15th-ranked squad. Despite this imbalance, the team still performed well and entered the playoffs with the #5 ranking. Entering the playoffs many people did not have high expectations for the Magic.

In the first round, the team faced the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs had a strong regular season and Donovan Mitchell was coming off of an all-star season averaging 26.6 points and would be a tough matchup for the Magic. The series would go to game seven as the Magic would fall short losing game seven 106-94. Despite this unfortunate result for the Magic, the team saw an incredible performance from young star Paolo Banchero who averaged an impressive 27 points per game throughout the series.  

In the regular season, the Magic have seen their young core begin to begin to develop and produce. The team has one of the youngest average ages in the NBA with an average team age of 24.7 years old. The three leading scorers were all 22 years old or younger, these three impressive young stars will make the Magic contenders for years to come if they can improve. The three leading contributors were Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Jalen Suggs. Banchero was the #1 overall pick in the 2022 draft and had a breakout year in the 2023-24 season. The 21-year-old averaged a team-leading 22.6 points per game and was selected to his first all-star game. Franz Wagner was the 8th overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft and has been improving each season with the Magic. The 22-year-old averaged 19.7 points per game. Jalen Suggs was the 5th pick in the 2021 NBA draft and has been a solid player for the Magic. The 22-year-old has had a similar career to his young teammates as he has been continuously improving for the Magic and posted a career-best 15.5 points per game in the 2023-24 season. The Magic have a bright future as their young squad continuously improves and has proven their ability to make the postseason. If the team follows the same trajectory, a very successful stretch will be in Magic's future.   

At the end of the 2022-23 season, we saw an improvement for the Orlando Magic. The team finished the season with a record of 34-48. This put them in 13th place in the Eastern Conference. What's more interesting is where the team sits before the start of the next season. The Magic have two first-round picks in the top eleven. Any players chosen will certainly support Paolo Banchero, who earned Rookie of the Year honors. On top of that, they have 60 million in salary cap space to spend on free agents. Considering that the eighth-seeded team in the 2023 playoffs had just ten more wins than Orlando, the Magic can turn the corner. 

Magic 2021-22 Season Recap

The Orlando Magic have room for improvement after a 22-60 win-loss record for 2021-22. The team signed Simi Shittu for an Exhibit 10 deal, and Marko Milic is the new head coach of the Magic. Seeing that they have won the NBA draft several times. The team is young and looking to get out of the bottom of their conference. The Orlando Magic roster includes Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac, Franz Wagner, R. J. Hampton, Caleb Houston, and more.

Orlando Magic Early History

The Orlando Magic were one of the NBA’s expansion teams of the 1980s when the league was looking to branch out into new markets that nobody had ever really considered before for a basketball team. The Magic was founded in 1989 and has had some moderate success already. Magic has won their division five times- 1995, 1996, 2008, 2009, and 2010. They have also won the Eastern Conference twice- 1995, and 2009. After missing the playoffs in each of their first four seasons of existence, the Magic made the playoffs in eight of the next ten seasons. A 21-61 finish though in the 2003-2004 season led them to draft Dwight Howard number one overall. Howard led the Magic back to success in the late 2000s before being traded in the Summer of 2012.

The Magic entered a rebuilding phase the moment they traded Howard and are farther along in their rebuild than some of their current rebuilding counterparts. The Magic currently sit at 21-43, and seven games back of the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference. Now nobody expects them to make a run, but still, they aren’t technically “out of it” yet. In the 2013 NBA draft, the Magic selected Victor Oladipo in the second overall selection. In 2014 they selected Aaron Gordon as the fourth overall selection. Both appear to be good choices and the Magic, maybe as soon as next season, will make the playoffs again.

The Orlando Magic did a bit worse than expected in their 2015-2016 season. The Magic hoped to contend for a playoff spot. They finished the season with a record of 35-47, nowhere near the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Magic have added a ton of young talent in recent years, and they entered the off-season believing that they simply needed to let that young talent grow and get better. Other than re-signing Evan Fournier, they had a very quiet off-season. So far this season, they are off to a start that was expected of them. To this point in the season, the Magic have a record of 15-18, one game off the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference.

It seems as if the Orlando Magic have been stuck in second gear since Dwight Howard left town after the 2012 season. The team has tried numerous roster combinations, none of which has gotten them anywhere. Last season, they finished the year with the second-worst record overall in the Eastern Conference. So what did they do to try to move the needle upward? At this time, the team has not done very much to improve their chances.

One solid change was to fire head coach Frank Vogel and replace him with Steve Clifford. Clifford came from the Charlotte Hornets coaching staff. For the draft, the Magic sat still, hanging on to their lone first-round draft choice and using it to acquire center Mohammed Bamba from Texas, a player who many thought had the highest ceiling of any player in this draft. Their lone free agent signing was to nab reserve guard Isaiah Briscoe. They made one trade, a three-team deal, trading center Bismack Biyombo, and their next two second-round draft choices, acquiring center Timofey Mozgov. The team truly believes that it was their head coach, not the roster build, that is responsible for their woes, we will see if they are right.

After being stuck in the bottom third of the league for many, many years, the Orlando Magic found their way out of that cycle a year ago, finishing 42-40, and making the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, which means they found their way back into the playoffs for the first time since Dwight Howard was in town. They faced off against the eventual NBA champion Toronto Raptors, who bounced them in five games. Still, much to be proud of a year ago for this team.

In the draft, the Magic held the 16th overall selection, which they used to add Auburn sophomore power forward Chuma Okeke to a talented roster. In free agency, they added power forward Al-Farouq Aminu as well. This Magic roster has a lot of talent on it already though that is only getting better. Their top pick from a year ago, center Mo Bamba, should improve this season. Another young talent is 21-year-old point guard Markelle Fultz. Their best player is a 24-year-old power forward Aaron Gordon, who averaged 15.2 points per game a year ago to go along with 7.2 rebounds. The arrow is pointing up right now for the Magic.
