Doc Rivers comments on Banchero-Wagner fit for Orlando Magic

Doc Rivers discussed the struggles of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner during a recent podcast. The Orlando Magic's two young forwards have not developed a complementary style of play, leading to inefficiencies on the court. Rivers expressed surprise that the team did not make any moves to address this during the offseason and suggested that if a choice had to be made, he would prefer to keep Banchero over Wagner. Despite injuries impacting both players in previous seasons, their current performance has not met expectations, contributing to the Magic's disappointing 2-6 record this season. The new head coach, Sean Sweeney, aims to find a way to make the duo work together effectively.
