9. Orlando Magic
Last Week’s Ranking: 13
It was a tough week for the Magic. They swept their miniseries against the Cavs but lost Markelle Fultz for the season with a torn ACL. They will miss his ability to get paint penetration. His drives led to opportunities for everyone else. Now coach Steve Clifford will have to turn to rookie Cole Anthony to make up for Fultz’s 14.1 drives per game.
Anthony has given Orlando quality minutes this season as a backup. He is averaging 9.2 points, 3.3 assists and just 1.5 turnovers in 23.3 minutes a game. The issue is, he is shooting just 31.6 percent from the field.
It might be a short visit for the Magic in the top 10 if Anthony cannot make up for Fultz’s production. Up until this point they earned their spot based on their entire body of work.
