He likely wont be on the ball in a scenario where the Magic arent injury-riddled (season over then anyways), and he cant play with the starting core minus Suggs because he cant defend screens. At that point he’s a complementary wing whose best shooting year is always the next one

Franz Wagner has averaged a 19.1 AST% in his Orlando career, with his peak AST% (26.6%) coming in 2025.
Through 3 preseason games, he's generated 35.3% of the Magic's assists. Sean Sweeney gets an A+ so far for how he's reshaped the Magic's offensive division of labor.
The Jase criticism is that he cant work around a screen, not that he’s being selective offensively. Hoarding touches and refusing to push the pace is partially why Tyus was awful and why a lot of people disliked Cole
I think what AB currently offers is pretty gettable on the trade market and for a longterm price the Magic can actually pay
It just wont come with youth and "untapped potential"
An extension for Orlando’s Anthony Black is “unlikely at this current juncture” and appears headed towards restricted free agency, per @TheSteinLine.
“The Magic have concerns about the long-term financial obligations they have already stacked up by signing Jalen Suggs to a lucrative extension in addition to frontcourt stalwarts Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner and summer of 2025 marquee trade acquisition Desmond Bane. … All of which means Black, barring a shift in the state of negotiations over the next week-plus, could well have to face restricted free agency next summer despite his rising stature.”

Start of a game being a Franz set instead of him pacing to the deep right corner with his eyes off the ball brings a tear to the eye
The @OrlandoMagic have signed free agent Mike Sharavjamts, President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman has announced.
Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed.
Lesser Magic players similar to Cain’s situation have had bigger egos through the years
Jamal Cain wants more than the viral dunk. Per Jason Beede / Orlando Sentinel, he spent most of the summer in the gym and says this is the first year teams are looking at him to produce — a bigger spark off the bench under Sean Sweeney.
Career-high 40 games last season; Magic picked up his second-year option. Closed on a 9 PPG / 3.6 RPG / 1.2 APG run, and a career-best 38.4% from three. “That I’ve been working (and) that I’ve always been an NBA-caliber player. And this is the year to prove it.”
How much Cain do you want to see this season?

I know every fiber of Suggs’ being is fighting against turning this into a behind the back pass
#Magic guards Jalen Suggs, Jevon Carter and Jase Richardson were driving-and-kicking to each other on the perimeter after practice:
