Desmond Bane's Disappointing Start in Orlando Sparks Moderate Fantasy Panic

Desmond Bane has had a flat-out disappointing start since joining the Orlando Magic, currently ranking outside the top 120 in points leagues and below top 200 in 9-cat formats. Expected to be a floor-spacing, playmaking 3-point specialist, his performance hasn't met expectations. Over his last two games, Bane averaged just 7.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 21.2 minutes, with numbers down in every category except offensive rebounds. While adjustment to a new environment and a ball-dominant point forward could be factors, his current struggles have led to a moderate panic rating, suggesting a potential buy-low opportunity for strong fantasy teams.
