Will the Orlando Magic FINALLY overcome their 3-point curse?
The Orlando Magic's offseason moves addressed their shooting woes, but doubts remain. The team finished last in three-point percentage last season, continuing a trend since Dwight Howard's departure. New additions like Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones should improve shooting, but the impact remains uncertain. The Magic's championship aspirations hinge on their ability to become at least an average shooting team.

Show Notes
The Orlando Magic had one goal for this offseason: Improve their offense and 3-point shooting. To compete for a title, the Magic needed to find a solution to their long-standing shooting issues.
They seem to have done so with the acquisition of Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones along with Jase Richardson. It could truly transform and boost the team to get consistent shooting. But nobody really knows if this will work until the team gets on the floor.
Better shooting should also unlock a new level to Paolo Banchero's game, putting him on the path to meeting his vast potential.
