The 2021-22 Orlando Magic season was marked by a rebuilding phase under new head coach Jamahl Mosley. The team finished with a record of 22-60, placing them 15th in the Eastern Conference. This season was largely focused on developing young talent and establishing a foundation for future success. Key players like Cole Anthony, Franz Wagner, and Jalen Suggs were given substantial roles, providing them with valuable experience despite the team’s struggles in the standings.
Franz Wagner, the 8th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, emerged as a standout performer. He demonstrated versatility and scoring ability, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Cole Anthony, in his sophomore season, showed growth as a lead guard, averaging 16.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. Jalen Suggs, the 5th overall pick, had an up-and-down rookie year, partly due to injuries, but showed flashes of his potential as a two-way player.
In terms of team performance, the Magic struggled offensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in points per game and offensive efficiency. Defensively, they showed promise but were inconsistent, leading to numerous close losses. The season’s struggles were anticipated as the Magic prioritized player development and cap flexibility over immediate results. Looking ahead, Orlando aimed to use their lottery positioning in the 2022 NBA Draft to continue building a competitive roster for the future.
