Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal
It does. That’s the main reason the Magic would do this deal.
Of course, they wouldn’t trade Fultz, Isaac, and a pair of first-round picks for a floor spacer. Luckily for them, Beal is far more than just a three-point specialist.
This is a player who can generate his own offense at will. On the other hand, Beal is also someone who will compliment Banchero and Wagner when they’ve got the ball.
In that sense, Beal is a playmaker and a play finisher. More broadly, he’s just a very good basketball player.
