So there are probably five of you wondering, “hey, where did those NBA Kicks Season Previews go?” Well, the answer for that is simple: there was so much features content this past week that we decided to double up and do it Grantland-style with two previews a day this coming week and resume our regularly scheduled posts until we get to October 30th when we talk about the (SPOILER) defending NBA champs.

But we all know that the team is probably not going to try their hardest to make the playoffs in light of the 2014 NBA Draft having what many believe to be the deepest class since 2003’s epic group. So what we have on the Magic are young and promising players trying to figure out who they are in the NBA, veterans who are better served being backups on contenders instead of being lead guys on a bad team and Hedo Turkoglu. Now you know why I took almost a week off…
