You're right... Francis and Mobley will replace TMac's scoring... but I'm still a little suspect on their defense...


I wonder if Dwight Howard will be able to play SF in the league... the only time I seen him play was in some All-Star game... and you can't tell much from those... he supposedly can handle the rock real well and has decent passing ability...


Also, the Magic do get more of an outside threat with the return of Pat Garrity and the addition of Francis and Mobley. If you watched the Magic last year when other teams played zone... the Magic had an awful time at hitting any sort of perimeter shot... which created many problems...


Anyways... maybe they get a leader from Francis or Mobley... and some motivation to win a few games...

They didn't loose any defense by trading T-mac. Mobley did a great job guarding Kobe in the first round in this year's playoffs, and Cato is a good shotblocker also.

The Magic should be ok if Francis can find his mid-range jumper. I have watched about 40 games a year since the Rockets got Francis and last year he could not make the 18 to 20 foot jump shots. He used to be deadly in prior years from 18 to 20 feet out. I don't know if he was injured or what, but Magic fans will be hating life if he struggles like he did last year. More concerning for me is the out of control nature that both Mobley and Francis display. The Rockets led the league in turnovers per game, in a slow down system mind you. If they are going to run this year, I look for more problems with turnovers.
