After the NBA Finals conclude, the Orlando Magic will finally be able to welcome Sean Sweeney, who is currently the top assistant for the San Antonio Spurs, as the franchise’s new head coach.

After officially naming Sweeney as the next head coach of the Magic on Monday, President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman joined the Game On show with Brandon Kravitz and Mike Bianchi on Tuesday to discuss his hiring. 

After Weltman explained the process of hiring Sweeney and what impressed the front office enough to hire him, Bianchi asked Weltman about concerns over the Magic’s offense and their choice to hire a defensive-minded coach in Sweeney.

"I feel like there are so many boxes that we put people into -- coaches and teams and players. And the game is not that," Weltman said. "That's not what the NBA is about. And so look, man, like a lot of NBA teams run the same stuff. Let's be honest. And it comes down to talent and it comes down to execution. Like, can you really execute it? 

"And so, I think that's why everybody wants to play so fast," he added. "The goal of an NBA team is to get the ball up the court in a hurry so that you can at the very least get a cross-match. You can get a guard being guarded by a big or vice versa. If you can't get numbers and you at least get that, and you do that so that you can generate a closeout, so that you can start getting the defense into rotation and then you play basketball. Right? That's like in a nutshell what NBA offense is these days."

According to NBA.com, Orlando finished the regular season ranked 15th out of 30 NBA teams in points per game (115.7). In offensive rating, the Magic were 18th (114.2). Among the 16 playoff teams, they were last in offensive rating (101.9) and last in points per game (97.7).

However, Weltman believes in Sweeney’s coaching philosophy.

"So, what it really comes down to largely is like, can you execute? And I'll come back to breaking the game down into small doses that are teachable, that are measurable," Weltman said. "And activating all five players was something that Sean was really big about. And so, you know, I do think that it's been written that he has like a modern approach. I don't know where that word came from, but I do believe that to be the case. And it's, you know, he's a coach. 

"You know he's going to coach players at both ends of the floor," Weltman added. "He's going to surround himself with really bright, creative minds. And I think our guys will get better and our team will get better, and I think we will establish kind of a program that allows us to continue to grow because at the end of the day, we're still a very young team."
