2024 Orlando Magic Player Evaluations: Jamahl Mosley still aims for the big picture
Jamahl Mosley always had the big picture in mind as he built this Orlando Magic program. That came to fruition and pulled together in a Playoff season.
Jamahl Mosley is always coaching. He is always building and always trying to teach and help a young team grow. He is always working.
In the moments after Game 7 ended in Cleveland, Mosley met with the media and already saw the future the team was building. This moment was going to be something everyone was going to absorb and learn from.
Even in that disappointing moment, the Magic were looking at how they would build next. That is the project that was ahead for the Orlando Magic this entire time.
This was never the end destination. A first playoff appearance was an important marker. And there is still a whole lot more work to do.
The task of a coach in a rebuild is a difficult one. Getting a group of typically young players to believe in a process that will not immediately net them results and convincing veterans to spend their precious prime years working on a team that may not deliver wins to their ledger.
It is not an easy thing to do to get everyone to invest in the work and see the vision.
