Magic will be fine. One of his biggest strengths is his ability to read the ball better than his opponent, rather than outpace them. The first thing I think of when I picture Micky is a high ball coming in one on one, Magic leading his opponent under the ball, before doubling back and collecting it as it bounces past, leaving his opponent for dead. To me, it is his signature move. Steve Johnson is another player who does this well and often. It doesn't rely on pace, which is how Magic has been able to continue to make contributions well after his knees rusted over, so to speak, and he lost his pace.
Leo will be a handy depth player this year, but his best is long past. Still useful, still has a role to play, but will be a handy fringe player at best.
