## Resource

The Orlando Magic are quietly building a powerhouse with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Desmond Bane leading a young core that’s been underrated but steadily improving. With new coach Sean Sweeney bringing defensive discipline and the emergence of Anthony Black and a healthy Wendell Carter Jr., they’re poised to unlock their offensive potential. Despite a tough Eastern Conference landscape and last year’s injury woes, the Magic’s ceiling is soaring — but they’re still a piece or two away from true championship contention. The 2024 season will reveal if they’re the next dark horse or just another team with untapped potential.
