The standout line from Magic media day for me was Markelle Fultz speaking emotionally about how much he missed basketball: “Imagine having the thing you love most in the world taken away from you. That’s what happened to me. Now I have it back and will never take it for granted.”

“Do you expect Markelle Fultz to start or come off the bench?”

“We’ll see.” - Coach Clifford

The quote of the day from #Magic Media Day goes to shooting guard Terrence Ross. Speaking about the athleticism of 3rd-year forward Jonathan Isaac:: ..."The way JI moves is unreal. It’s like a giraffe moving like a lion. It’s unreal the way he moves for his size..."

All Magic players talked about their defense and how good it could be. Reminder: Orlando was the #1 defense in the NBA for most of the second half of the season. They've got guys at all 5 spots who can be plus defenders.

Everyone owned the need to be better on offense too.

Predicting an All Star Year for @Double0AG
