Today's guest is Phillip Rossman-Reich who is the host of Locked On Magic as well as the Editor for the Orlando Magic Daily.

The Orlando Magic have had a successful start to the season, despite not conforming to the typical style of play in the NBA. They rely on defense and scoring in the paint rather than shooting threes. The team's success is attributed to their young players' energy and determination to prove themselves. The Magic prioritize protecting the paint on defense and exploiting it on offense with their size advantage. Paolo Bencaro has shown improvement in his game, particularly in his shooting and passing abilities. The team has a strong, unselfish culture that contributes to their success. The Magic have made strategic trades to build their roster and have been fortunate with some draft picks. They are looking to add shooting to their team and are focused on gaining playoff experience to identify weaknesses and make necessary adjustments.
