Franz Wagner RAMPING UP for preseason debut | Pressure is on Paolo Banchero
Franz Wagner is ramping up after EuroBasket, with the Orlando Magic managing his workload. The team's first full-strength appearance may come Friday. There's excitement for the season, but Saturday's game lacked Wagner. His importance to the team's pace and transition play is evident. Paolo Banchero faces pressure to prove his max contract value and lead the team.

Show Notes
Orlando Magic fans had to wait a little longer for the debut of their new-look team. Franz Wagner sat out the preseason opener as the Magic manage his return from EuroBasket.
But Wagner is eager to get out on the court and it seems that return is imminent with two preseason games this weekend. The Magic are nearly at full strength.
This season faces a lot of unique pressures. Paolo Banchero has his max contract now and the pressure is on him to lead the team to their next stage and make good on the faith the Magic have put in him and his teammates.
