As the Magic get set for training camp (first practice Sept. 29), here are four areas where improvement is needed to get the Glass Half Full:

1) Free Throw Shooting: The Magic ranked 28th out of 29, shooting at a .702 clip. This is always a tough one, as it is both mental and physical/routine oriented. The bottom line is that the Magic need to be better.

2) Turnovers: The Magic were last a year ago, averaging 17.0 per game.

3) Three-Point Shooting: While the Magic shot at a relatively good clip last year (35 percent), they didn’t take enough. Three-point shooting makes the defense cover more of the floor, thus creating space for Dwight Howard to operate.

4) Fouling Less: The Magic ranked in the lower third in the league in fouls committed, ultimately leading to the opponent shooting more free throws, thus getting easy points.

This is interesting. I think number 1) we will definitely improve. It begins with Dwight since he shoots the most FTs and he will definitely shoot a lot of those this coming season.Number 2 has been the identity of the Magic in previous season - I think Stan and his staff can fix this one. Number 3, ah we paid top dollar ($120M!) to fix this weakness. JJ and Jameer should also be able help.
