Orlando Magic's rotation BATTLE heats up as Jett Howard makes strong case
The Orlando Magic have one preseason game left before the regular season. The starting lineup and rotation are mostly set, with Wendell Carter solidifying his role as starting center. Jace Richardson and Jett Howard have impressed in preseason, potentially pushing for playing time. The team is holding back intensity for the regular season opener.

Show Notes
There is not much intrigue in training camp over roles and rotation. The Orlando Magic know who their nine- or 10-man rotation should be this season when they are healthy. The preseason has been more about establishing and clarifying those existing roles ahead of the season.
There is still something to prove, however.
Jett Howard has made the most of his minutes, getting some extended time with the starters and rotation players and showing signs of defensive improvement to get him a look. Jonathan Isaac is also looking healthy and more active on defense. But he still faces a lot of questions about his offensive potential.
