The 2017 season is here and the Orlando Magic still have plenty of questions that need answering. We open up the mailbag to answer some of those questions.

Another Orlando Magic season is quickly approaching. The games count tomorrow. All the mystery and questions from throughout a tumultuous offseason come to a head on Oct. 26 when the season starts.

Preseason has revealed a little bit about what is to come with the Magic.

Frank Vogel has promised a tough, defensive mindset and a team playing at a fast pace. The Magic have showed plenty of flashes of doing this. They are still just flashes though. It is unclear how they will play in the intensity of a regular season game for 48 minutes.
