Banchero and Wagner EXPLODE onto NBA Scene | Magic's Championship Window Opens Early?

The Orlando Magic faced a season of disappointment and frustration. But they exit knowing one clear thing: Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are the team MVPs and clear stars they can build their future around.

Now comes the hard part: Figuring out when the championship window opens. That could come sooner than expected with players of Banchero and Wagner's capabilities. It means the Magic have to be aggressive with their moves this offseason to build the supporting cast that can elevate them to contention.
