ORLANDO, Fla. — The upcoming season looks promising for the upstart Orlando Magic, led by superstars Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.<\/p>\n

Banchero knows the stakes are high, so he has been putting in the work.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne part of my game I worked on his summer was definitely my three-point shot. Also, just my finishing \u2013 creative finishes, finishing around the basket, stuff like that,” Banchero said.\u00a0“So, excited to showcase that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Magic have a great shot at making it to the NBA’s Eastern Conference finals. And why not?\u00a0<\/p>\n
