The Orlando Magic had one goal for this offseason: Improve their offense and 3-point shooting. To compete for a title, the Magic needed to find a solution to their long-standing shooting issues.

They seem to have done so with the acquisition of Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones along with Jase Richardson. It could truly transform and boost the team to get consistent shooting. But nobody really knows if this will work until the team gets on the floor.

Better shooting should also unlock a new level to Paolo Banchero's game, putting him on the path to meeting his vast potential.

Despite near-universal praise for their offseason and heightened expectations, the Orlando Magic still face a lot of key questions as they prepare for the season. The biggest is whether their offense has indeed taken a big enough step.

The answer to that question may come down to the coaching staff changes Jamahl Mosley made, adding Joe Prunty and God Shammgod to the staff this offseason. Both coaches are focused on offensive improvement and should provide a necessary boost.

The Orlando Magic again opted to go into the offseason without a traditional point guard. Will this strategy pay off?

The team certainly has plenty of skilled players who can fill in statistically for a point guard. But the Magic still need someone who can calm the team down and set them up in critical moments. Outside of Tyus Jones, that is not clearly on the roster and not in the starting lineup.

It is just Summer League. But the Summer Magic's problems dealing with the Toronto Raptors' ball pressure hints that this may be a bigger problem than anyone thinks. It could determine whether the Magic meet their lofty expectations.

Jase Richardson did not put up gaudy numbers in his Summer League debut, but he still stood out, making an impact in several facets. It was a good showing for him to build on as he showed his competitiveness and fire.

He was not alone as Tristan da Silva and Noah Penda also had good showings to open Summer League. The Magic have something to build on, even in defeat.

The Magic are still trying to build up their offense. They have made two coaching hires aimed at improving the defense. And some of the changes may be on display in Summer League.

The Orlando Magic got their NBA Cup group, paired with the Boston Celtics and their newest rival, the Detroit Pistons. The Magic and Pistons are coming up at the same time and figure to be at the top of the Eastern Conference this season. Their NBA Cup game in Detroit in November will be a big statement for both teams.

The Magic begin their Summer League schedule on Thursday. Everyone is excited to see Jase Richardson and Noah Penda make their Magic debuts. But the real focus should be on Tristan da Silva as he steps into a bigger role heading into next season.

Paolo Banchero signed a max contract extension signals a new era for the Orlando Magic as they set their sights on winning a title.

The rest of the league is still spending some time debating Banchero's worthiness of this max deal. At least those who are on the outside are still wondering if Banchero is at that level.

But for Magic fans there is no doubt Banchero earned his max contract and is the player the Magic should be building around and the one who has set the Magic into overdrive to deliver a championship in the next five years.

The Orlando Magic entered the offseason knowing they needed to make a big move to take the next step and climb the ranks in the Eastern Conference. They delivered in all phases -- adding a key offensive player, adding shooting and even improving their coaching staff -- to take on the challenges ahead this season.

This has been a successful offseason.

The big free agent acquisition this offseason was veteran guard Tyus Jones. What are the magic getting in him? I chatted with Ben Garcia of Locked On Suns to find out what the Suns did not get right with Jones and how he will fit in with the Magic this season.
