UNDEFEATED: Orlando Magic show PROMISE in preseason | Concerns still LINGER ahead of opener

The Orlando Magic raced past the New Orleans Pelicans to finish their preseason undefeated.

In doing so, they showed all of their potential, including their stunning new-look offense. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero dominated and looked ready to start the season as the Magic's passing attack has changed their ceiling.

But there are still some concerns as the team's defense has not rounded into its elite form yet. The Magic were able to outscore the Pelicans this time, but they have to clean up some things before the games count next week.
