I love love love Hali, but he really needs to step up his on ball defense at some point in his career. He's great for a couple steals playing the passing lanes, but he's a turnstile on defense. If he makes that leap defensively or they put in some more defensive stoppers around him, I see them doing better in the playoffs. But I don't see them jumping the Celtics any time soon, and you've got the Magic up and coming too.
