Magic Starting 5: Orlando Hall of Fame Set to Welcome Dennis Scott

The Magic Insider lists five of the biggest NBA storylines in addition to relevant Orlando Magic news and analysis.

1. DENNIS SCOTT MAGIC HOF INDUCTION

"Dennis [Scott] still remains one of the elite, long-range shooters in both Orlando Magic and NBA history," Magic CEO Alex Martins said. "His ability to shoot from beyond the three-point arc was a major key to our success during his time in Orlando and his records stand to this day. We are proud to make Dennis the next inductee into the Orlando Magic Hall of Fame."

2. MAGIC LOSS VS. BLAZERS 'GREAT EXPERIENCE'

"They're great experiences for these guys to go through," head coach Jamahl Mosley said. "Obviously not the result we wanted but we're gonna learn from this, take a look at it on film, see where we can get better, possessions we can get back, understanding what we can do late game."

3. PAOLO BANCHERO 'MATCHUP NIGHTMARE'

"I'm impressed every time I see him play," Billups said. "He seems to have a ton of confidence out there and he scores at all three levels. Even though he doesn't shoot a ton of threes, he can make them. He's just so big. He handles the ball like a point guard, which puts you in a lot of different tough predicaments with him handling and coming off pick-and-rolls with small guys setting it ... He's just kind of a matchup nightmare."

4. TUESDAY'S GAMES
