Milwaukee Bucks: Getting the expert’s view on the Orlando Magic ahead of the playoffs – Under the radar players

BTBP: Is there any under the radar Magic player that Bucks fans should be looking out for ahead of the first round?

PRR: I think the biggest wild card for the Magic in this postseason will be Markelle Fultz. He has been working himself back into rhythm and shape after entering the bubble a week late to deal with a family matter. But he has shown flashes of the player that propelled the Magic after the All-Star Break. He is a really strong mid-range shooter and can get to the basket while controlling the team’s pace. Fultz has started to look a little bit like the top overall pick.

No player is probably more important to the Magic’s offense to get it going and get players in the right spot. He really has a big effect. And it seems like with his playmaking he can take his game up a level for the playoffs. It is hard to rely wholly on a player who is essentially a rookie to play big in the postseason. But if anyone could tip the Magic a little closer to favor, it would be him.
