The Orlando Magic have positioned themselves well with 23 games remaining in the NBA regular season. 33-26 in the record book - good for 8th in the Eastern Conference, and just two games back on the New York Knicks for the 4-seed, and half a game back on a three way tie for 5th-7th place.
Vegas projected the Magic win total at 37.5 this season after 34 last season, a 12-win improvement form the year prior. Anything can happen over this last stretch of the season, but it's looking like Orlando will surpass that with ease. With that being said, how much of the credit should be given to the progression of Paolo Banchero in year two, a balanced scoring attack from the supporting cast, or head coach Jamahl Mosley?
Brandon and I got into that conversation earlier today on In The Zone. Tune in to the podcast linked below for the full conversation on Mosley beginning at the 8:00 minute mark - we had to give proper credit to Iowa guard Caitlin Clark, and ask the question - could she play in the NBA? We've got you covered.
