Suggs' defensive prowess earned him a place on the NBA's All-Defense second team. Orlando ranked second in defensive rating and fourth in points allowed per game. Suggs had 31 games with at least two steals, and the Magic were 20-11 in those games.Wagner was expected to be one of the Magic's more reliable scorers the moment he stepped on the court and he has answered the bell at every turn through his first three seasons.
Anderson did it all for the Magic, averaging 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. He ranks in the top five in points, rebounds, assists, 3-pointers made, field goals made, and minutes played. He's the all-time leader in steals and games played. The tandem of Howard and Nelson was one of the best in the league at its peak and helped lead Orlando to four straight seasons with at least 50 wins, plus an NBA Finals appearance in 2009 — the best stretch in franchise history.Before Howard and Nelson, there was Penny and Shaq. In the 1993 NBA Draft, the Magic selected Michigan Fab Five star Chris Webber with the No. 1 overall pick.
