<\/p>\nThe Magic haven’t had their Top-7 rotation available all at once since mid-December.<\/p>\n
It only took until the final home game of the 2025-26 NBA regular season for that to change:<\/p>\n
Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Anthony Black, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr., Tristan da Silva are all available at the same time in the same game, along with Goga Bitadze, Moritz Wagner, Jamal Cain, Jevon Carter, Noah Penda, and Jase Richardson.<\/p>\n
How do the Magic finally balance what’s proven to work with what’s still left to try?<\/p>\n
This Magic team is a different beast at full strength<\/p>\n

The Magic’s starting lineup has ranked among the league’s best anytime they’ve been available this season, posting a +10 Net Rating in 161 minutes.<\/p>\n
Those same 5-man units with Black or da Silva in place of Franz Wagner, or even with both Black and da Silva in place of Franz and Suggs, all are league-killer lineups ranging between 6-9+ Net Ratings; the Top-7 for this team is good together in many combinations.<\/p>\n
This team’s roles are split up best at full go, letting Franz and Paolo drive with maximum spacing, flanked with snipers Bane Suggs Black da Silva and Carter ready to catch and fire or attack closeouts. How much do they scale up touches for the secondary ball-handlers? That’s a question that could be solved differently every night out.<\/p>\n
So, who is supposed to take all the shots? Who should be passing to who? With all these ball-handlers available at once, Orlando Magic Head Coach Jamahl Mosley now has a good problem to have \u2013 divvying up shots among good shooters and touches among good scoring creators.<\/p>\n
Orlando has a handful of staple sets it can rely on, such as Banchero-Bane pick-and-pops or the Wagner-Carter Connection in pick-and-roll, but how does the team find enough shots for all these reliable decision-makers while making sure to involve everyone in their best role for the team?<\/p>\n
Before the final regular season home game of the year with Orlando hosting Minnesota, I asked Coach Mosley how he balances this Magic offense at full strength:<\/p>\n
The ability to play our defense first \u2014 no matter who it is, where they are, they understand we gotta defend.<\/p>\n
So when you are out and running, those are the answers themselves.<\/p>\n
You push the pace. You get to your spots on the floor. You make the right play, the right pass, at the right time, and that\u2019s good basketball.<\/p>\n
That is how continuity is created, that is how you play off a flow with one another. That is a big portion of it for us.<\/p>\n
