Why Jalen Suggs is key to Orlando Magic's offensive revival

Locked On Magic - Daily Podcast On The Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic's extreme shooting woes showed up again in their loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. While fatigue from the team's road-heavy early schedule played a factor, the Magic's weaknesses continue to be apparent. Especially their inability to attack downhill outside of Franz Wagner.

That puts all the attention on Jalen Suggs to step into the role of creator. That is a role he has struggled with since Paolo Banchero's injury. He has struggled too with his shot without Banchero setting him up. It is all part of the problem for the Magic's offense and why they are better with Banchero.
