Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal
Meanwhile, it doesn’t appear as if the Magic are the right home for Bamba.
By all appearances, they prefer Wendell Carter Jr. For that matter, even Bol Bol seems to be a higher priority than Bamba at the moment. The Magic may not see the need to continue forward with three young bigs.
By contrast, they could use a floor spacing guard. The Magic have plenty of young talent in their backcourt, but most of their guards are ball handlers. A player who can consistently knock down threes would be a huge benefit.
Pritchard is that player. At 24, he’s also young enough to be part of this team’s core.
