On November 3, Beijing time, the current NBA regular season is already in full swing, in addition to the high-profile Lakers and Nets, like this year's potential rookies Corningham, Jaylen Green, Mobley, etc. have become the focus of fans' attention. But there's one youth force that's slowly improving, and that's the Orlando Magic. Although this team has a poor record so far, only 2 wins and 6 losses so far, the team's talented new stars have given fans unlimited hope. The Magic, whose average starting age is only 21 years old, will definitely become a force to be reckoned with in the league after 5 years.
The Magic's biggest player so far is second-year student Cole Anthony, who has been able to cut an All-Star stat with 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists so far in the opening of last year's first round of 15. It is worth mentioning that this is only Anthony's second rookie season in the league, and he has already played such a phenomenal performance, and he has completed the big heart performance of many times last season. The template is Lillard's, he has proved that he can achieve what people expect from him, and to be honest, in terms of performance since the start of the game, Cole Anthony has not lost to Lillard.
This year's no.4 pick Jaylen Sargers has found form in recent games after a slump since he first entered the NBA. The average of 13+3+3+1 per game is already qualified, and although 30.8% shooting and 23.9% three-point shooting are a bit unsatisfactory, Sargas, who has only played 8 NBA games, is worth looking forward to. Excellent defense, good organizational offense, and when Sargas regains his shooting touch again, the Magic team will go one step further. He is known as the successor of Yellow Mambaroy, who should not be underestimated.
Speaking of magic starting center Mohammed Bamba, this is his fourth season in the league, but he is only 23 years old, and what is even more surprising is that he is already the oldest player in the starting lineup. Bamba has been highly anticipated by fans since entering the league, and his height of 213 and his arm span of 2 meters 39 once made people see Mutombo, the "mountain of Africa" who can shoot and has excellent athleticism. However, Bamba has not been able to cash in on his talent, and the previous all-star Vucevic in the team has limited his development, and his thin body has also made him weak against it. Until the weight gain of Bamba this season, the data of 12.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.1 blocks is bright enough, and the future will be more worth looking forward to.
German striker Franz Wagner, who won the 8th overall pick in the first round of this year, is also very good, playing only 8 games in the NBA, he can cut the overall data of 15.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals, as a rookie can be said to be impeccable. Wagner was not only able to stag a powerful dunk in the game, but also averaged 46.3% of the three-point shooting rate per game, ranking in the top 20 in the league.
Potential guard Rj Hampton, 20, Wingell Carter, 22, as well as 24-year-old Jonathan Isaac, who is currently recuperating from injury, and Markle Folts, an absolutely talented rising star who is only 23 years old and is the winner of the 2017 draft. It is no exaggeration to say that if half of the young people on this Magic team can play, they will definitely become a big dark horse in the league after 5 years. If they can all cash in on their talents, the league overlord in 5 years may be this Orlando Magic team.
