Overview

• Bane said on The Kevin O’Connor Show that Orlando’s staff wants him hunting threes and that he expects to reach career-high attempt levels.
• He praised the Magic’s size, defensive base, and lineup flexibility, while noting the team must gel as roles settle during the season.
• Bane expects Paolo Banchero to be a “monster” this year after a team mini-camp in Las Vegas, citing the forward’s hunger and selflessness.
• He said his shooting will open the floor for Banchero and Franz Wagner, and his arrival alongside Tyus Jones boosts backcourt depth.
• Orlando acquired Bane in June for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks, and a swap, and opens Oct. 22 at home against the Heat.
