Episode notes
Magic Need An Offensive Birth
- Orlando has lacked a true offense for years and needs a foundational offensive identity now.
- Adding a shooting ball-handler (Davis) and speeding possessions can unlock Paolo and Franz's easier looks.
Shooting+Handle Breaks Defensive Switches
- Orlando's shooting and switching issues made their two-man actions predictable and inefficient.
- Adding a versatile guard who can shoot and handle (Bain) widens two-man options and forces defensive choices.
Speed Up Possessions To Generate Points
- Play faster and get into your half-court sets earlier to gain offensive points.
- Run simple movement sets (cross screens, flex, two-man actions) to create mismatches for Paolo and Franz.
