Orlando Magic

2000 Record: (43-39), 4th in Atlantic Division

PLayer Losses: John Amaechi, Michael Doleac, Dee Brown

Player Additions: Patrick Ewing, Horace Grant, Todd Fuller, Steven Hunter, Jeryl Sasser

Projected Starting Five:

Center - Patrick Ewing (7'0" 265 lbs.)
Forward - Horace Grant (6'10" 245 ibs.)
Forward - Grant Hill (6'8" 225 lbs.)
Guard - Tracy McGrady (6'9" 210 lbs.)
Guard - Darrell Armstrong (6'1" 180 lbs.)

Orlando will be the most improved team in the league. They have a chance to dethrone Philadelphia for the division championship, as well as make it to the NBA Finals. Grant Hill is coming off a severe ankle injury, but he feels like he can play at his all pro level. Tracy McGrady will become the best player in the league because he plays at an all star level on offense and defense. The Magic should be able to advance to the Eastern Conference Championship.
