Can the Orlando Magic rebuild last year's elite defense?

Can the Orlando Magic rebuild the elite defense that led to their breakthrough last season? The team expects to be elite once again. But it is no guarantee that you can rebuild an elite defense year after year. This Magic team has to start from scratch and cannot take their biggest strength for granted.
Plus Jonathan Isaac's development will be a key storyline this season. After putting on significant weight, can he stand up to the pressure of the season and the physicality he needs to make it through the entire season.

I believe in their defense. I hope their home court intensity can carry over to away games this season. And I hope that we can see an increase in offensive playmaking. But, it's a huge question. They are changing people in two starting roles, with KCP taking Suggs' spot and Suggs playing PG. At least that's my understanding. But I could see the lines blurred on that with the "positionless" or "interchangeable" approach that Orlando wants to use.

Can’t wait for the moment in the season we are in a dog fight of a game and Mosley looks at Franz and says to Franz,” GO END PRACTICE!” Thats how you handle a player in a shooting slump like Franz, give him some confidence. Brilliant coaching by Mosley.

I cant see how we would have gotten worse. Harris who is a solid defender in his own right is now a cog off the bench because and even better defender was added to the position. Black showed he could defend at least at a solid rate for a rookie and a step forward will make it better. We can also point to Carters hand injury at the end of the season that seemed to make him hesitant to reach.
