10 Predictions for the Orlando Magic Season
The Magic will lead the league in blocked shots as a team.
Frank Vogel knows a thing or two about defense. He knows last year’s playoff teams finished as top defensive units — 10 of the top 11 defenses by defensive rating finished in the Playoffs.
How did Vogel show his commitment to developing the Magic into shot blocking machine?
Simple, acquire two of the best shot blockers in the game.
Most blocks will come from a combination of Bismack Biyombo and Serge Ibaka. But expect three to four blocks from the rest of the team as well. This team will experience games with double-digit blocks with the potential to set the record for total blocked shots and blocks per game of 716 and 8.6 set by the Washington Bullets in 1981.
