Is Orlando Magic's offense FOR REAL? | What could derail Magic's offensive REVIVAL?

The Orlando Magic have struggled on offense for much of the last decade. The path to their improvement has always leaned on their improving on that end.

So they have added key players but also changed their offensive mindset, focusing on pace and running more to improve their offensive fortunes.

Their three preseason games have shown this mindset take root. They are improving on offense and have shined in the preseason. The Magic have one of the best offenses in the preseason so far. Orlando perhaps has taken a key step forward.

But there are reasons for concern. The team continues to struggle from deep and continues to struggle with turnovers. These could derail all the growth the Magic have made and unravel the team's title hopes.
