Orlando Magic
Vegas Over/Under: 33.5
Fromal’s Record Projection: 31-51 The Bet: Beneath with marginal confidence During the 2016-17 campaign, the Orlando Magic created 32.8 percent of their three-point attempts, which left them before only the Oklahoma City Thunder (32.7 percent). They also took only 26.1 treys per contest, once again finishing at the league’s lowest half (No. 16).
These numbers are not conducive to success in the NBA, which puts more and more of an emphasis on shooting from beyond the rainbow every year.
So obviously, the Magic addressed their flaw by adding the gamers, many of whom struggled in 2016-17:
Marreese Speights: 37.2 percentage on 3.4 efforts per game for the Los Angeles Clippers
Jonathan Isaac: 34.8 percent on 2.8 efforts per game for the Florida State Seminoles (with a shorter arc)
Shelvin Mack: 30.8 percentage on 2.2 efforts per game for your Utah Jazz
Jonathon Simmons: 29.4 percentage on 1.3 efforts per game for the San Antonio Spurs
Adreian Payne: 20.0 percent on 0.8 efforts per game for the Minnesota Timberwolves
Speights’ presence might help, however, the enduring logjam that is frontcourt of the team can make it tough for him to make many moments.
Why are we supposed to think the Magic hit on the over and will acquire five more games this year?
