Perhaps the most notable change in Franz Wagner’s performance before and after his injury was his 3-point shooting, which he acknowledged was affected by the time missed and his shooting form. He expressed a need to improve both his physical technique and mental approach, linking his shooting struggles to broader mental challenges. As the Orlando Magic enter a “win-now” phase, Wagner and teammate Paolo Banchero are focused on enhancing their contributions to avoid repeat playoff exits, with Banchero emphasizing the need for team improvement after previous first-round losses.
