League Search Page > NBA > Orlando Magic > Roster & Statistics
The 1998–99 Orlando Magic were led by Penny Hardaway, whose scoring and playmaking remained the foundation of the offense, while Nick Anderson provided reliable perimeter scoring and Bo Outlaw supplied rebounding and defensive energy in the frontcourt. Orlando relied on balanced contributions from its veteran core, combining capable ball movement with solid defensive activity, but inconsistent offensive efficiency limited the team’s overall production.

| Player Name | Role Tier | MPG | Usage Tier | PPG | RPG | APG | STK (SPG + BPG) | Impact Index | Notes | Awards |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anfernee Hardaway | Primary Offensive Engine (1.1) | 38.9 | High | 15.8 | 5.7 | 5.3 | 2.7 | 77.88 | Primary creator and transition initiator for Orlando, Hardaway blended point-forward size with enough burst to pressure the rim and create for teammates. His 5.3 assists and 2.2 steals reflected how much responsibility he carried on both ends, while contemporary coverage also noted the tension surrounding his leadership and inconsistent play. | MVP voting: 16th (1999) |
| Darrell Armstrong | Pick-and-Roll Engine (1.05) | 30.0 | High | 13.8 | 3.6 | 6.7 | 2.3 | 66.53 | Orlando’s most disruptive backcourt spark, Armstrong attacked gaps, pushed pace and constantly pressured the ball. Chuck Daly openly described him as indispensable after Armstrong produced a late steal and game-winning layup against Philadelphia, illustrating why his energy translated into genuine two-way influence rather than ordinary reserve production. | MVP voting: 15th (1999); Most Improved Player (1999); Sixth Man of the Year (1999) |
| Nick Anderson | Primary Perimeter Scorer (1.05) | 33.6 | High | 14.9 | 5.9 | 1.9 | 1.7 | 61.49 | Orlando relied on Anderson as a veteran scoring wing who could stretch the floor and punish defenses from the perimeter. His 2.0 made threes per game were especially important in a low-scoring offense, while his rebounding gave the Magic useful size on the wing. Contemporary reporting described him as a proven two-guard capable of improving Sacramento’s perimeter shooting after Orlando’s rebuilding decision. | — |
| Horace Grant | Defensive Frontcourt Stabilizer (1.05) | 33.2 | Medium | 8.9 | 7.0 | 1.8 | 2.1 | 45.74 | Grant supplied the dependable interior positioning and defensive discipline that kept Orlando’s veteran lineup organized. His value was less about creating offense and more about screening, rebounding, rotating and making the correct read, a continuation of the fundamentally sound role that had long defined his game. | — |
| Isaac Austin | Starting Interior Scoring Option (1.05) | 25.7 | Medium | 9.7 | 4.8 | 1.8 | 1.7 | 41.58 | Austin entered the season with an opportunity to become Orlando’s primary interior big after arriving as a free agent, giving the Magic a legitimate post option alongside its perimeter creators. His offensive responsibility was noticeable, but his role remained complementary rather than dominant as Orlando balanced several veteran frontcourt pieces. | — |
| Bo Outlaw | Defensive Utility Forward (1.0) | 27.5 | Low | 6.5 | 5.4 | 1.8 | 2.7 | 32.80 | The defining feature of Outlaw’s season was defensive versatility: he could guard across the forward spots, rebound outside his area and provide energy without needing plays called for him. Chuck Daly’s “Bionic Bo” nickname captured the tireless physical style that made him valuable despite limited offensive usage. | — |
| Matt Harpring | Two-Way Developmental Wing (1.0) | 22.3 | Medium | 8.2 | 4.3 | 0.9 | 0.7 | 31.02 | Harpring quickly became a trusted physical wing who could defend bigger perimeter players, attack closeouts and play with more toughness than his rookie status suggested. Daly even assigned him the difficult task of frustrating Allen Iverson in the playoffs, a useful indication of the defensive responsibility Orlando was willing to place on him. | NBA All-Rookie First Team (1999) |
| Michael Doleac | Reserve Interior Finisher (1.0) | 15.9 | Low | 6.2 | 3.0 | 0.4 | 0.7 | 20.60 | Doleac functioned as a young reserve center whose value came from size, positional discipline and a developing interior game rather than high-volume offense. His background as a major piece of Utah’s 1998 Final Four team gave Orlando reason to develop him patiently, and his rookie usage reflected a player learning the physical demands of NBA interior play. | NBA All-Rookie Second Team (1999) |
| Derek Strong | Veteran Rebounding Reserve (1.0) | 15.8 | Low | 5.1 | 3.7 | 0.4 | 0.5 | 19.40 | Strong was a physical frontcourt reserve used primarily for rebounding, interior defense and hard possessions rather than offensive creation. Earlier Magic coverage had already established his reputation as a hardworking, hard-nosed defender, and that utility remained his clearest role as his minutes declined. | — |
| Dominique Wilkins | Veteran Isolation Scorer (1.0) | 9.3 | Low | 5.0 | 2.6 | 0.6 | 0.1 | 16.60 | Wilkins was essentially a veteran situational scorer during his final NBA season, bringing decades of isolation and face-up experience to a roster that otherwise lacked his level of offensive pedigree. Orlando used him sparingly, with his greatest value coming from experience and occasional shot creation rather than sustained workload. | — |
| B.J. Armstrong | Veteran Table-Setter (1.0) | 8.2 | Low | 2.2 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 0.4 | 10.20 | Armstrong served as an experienced reserve organizer after joining Orlando late in the shortened season. His job was largely to steady possessions, move the ball and provide veteran point-guard minutes rather than recreate the scoring role he once held in Chicago. | — |
| Doug Overton | Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) | 5.5 | Low | 3.0 | 0.3 | 0.5 | 0.2 | 8.00 | Overton’s Orlando stint was brief and clearly situational, with the veteran point guard providing insurance at the position rather than a defined rotation role. Limited contemporary basketball coverage exists for his six-game Magic stint, so the most defensible characterization is emergency ball-handling depth. | — |
| Kevin Ollie | Short-Term Point Guard Cover (1.0) | 4.0 | Low | 1.0 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 4.00 | Ollie appeared only briefly after joining Orlando on a 10-day contract, functioning as temporary point-guard depth while the roster changed around him. His one appearance and four minutes make this a genuine spot-duty role rather than a conventional rotation assignment. | — |
| Danny Schayes | Veteran Interior Insurance (1.0) | 7.5 | Low | 1.5 | 0.7 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 5.20 | Schayes provided veteran center depth at the end of a long career, giving Orlando an experienced body for short stretches when the frontcourt required another traditional big. The role was almost entirely insurance-based, with little offensive responsibility and minimal rotation exposure. | — |
| Gerald Wilkins | Veteran Wing Specialist (1.0) | 9.3 | Low | 0.7 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 2.60 | Wilkins’ final NBA appearance was a very limited reserve role, with Orlando using him primarily as experienced wing depth. The unusual family storyline with Dominique attracted attention, but on the floor his minutes were too scarce to establish a meaningful offensive or defensive workload. | — |
| Miles Simon | Developmental Perimeter Reserve (1.0) | 3.8 | Low | 0.4 | 0.4 | 0.0 | 0.2 | 2.00 | Simon entered the NBA after starring on Arizona’s 1997 national championship team, but Orlando gave the rookie only sporadic minutes. His five-game stint was primarily developmental, with the Magic assessing whether his college scoring and competitive instincts could translate to NBA rotation play. | — |
| Jonathan Kerner | Deep Frontcourt Reserve (1.0) | 5.0 | Low | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.00 | Kerner’s single appearance was strictly end-of-roster frontcourt coverage. Contemporary coverage of the stint is extremely limited, so there is little evidence to suggest a role beyond providing Orlando with an available center when circumstances required another body. | — |
| Team Totals | — | 241.0 | — | 89.5 | 42.7 | 21.3 | 14.2 | — | Orlando’s 1998-99 profile was built around veteran two-way structure, perimeter creation from Hardaway and Anderson, and Armstrong’s disruptive reserve play. The team finished 33-17 in the lockout-shortened regular season, with its defensive identity considerably stronger than its offensive efficiency. | — |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anfernee Hardaway | Franchise Floor General (1.1) | 41.8 | High | 19.0 | 5.0 | 5.5 | 2.6 | 84.74 | Injured lead creator, Hardaway carried Orlando’s offense while playing through a torn ligament in his right wrist. The injury clearly affected his perimeter shooting, and Philadelphia’s defense forced him into difficult decisions; he still generated 5.5 assists while spending more than 41 minutes a night on the floor. | MVP voting: 16th (1999) |
| Nick Anderson | Primary Wing Shot Creator (1.05) | 38.0 | High | 20.8 | 6.8 | 2.3 | 2.3 | 81.14 | High-volume perimeter scorer, Anderson became Orlando’s most aggressive shooter in the series, but Philadelphia made those attempts difficult. His 10.5 three-point attempts per game came against a defense willing to live with contested jumpers, while his 6.8 rebounds also helped compensate for Orlando’s struggles on the glass. | — |
| Darrell Armstrong | Two-Way Backcourt Catalyst (1.05) | 40.8 | High | 14.8 | 5.0 | 6.3 | 2.3 | 71.57 | Two-way backcourt catalyst, Armstrong was asked to defend Allen Iverson while also initiating offense for long stretches. His playmaking kept Orlando competitive, but Philadelphia’s pressure exposed his ball security; the series ended with Armstrong acknowledging that the 76ers had simply played harder. | MVP voting: 15th (1999); Most Improved Player (1999); Sixth Man of the Year (1999) |
| Horace Grant | Defensive Frontcourt Stabilizer (1.05) | 32.0 | Medium | 6.8 | 7.0 | 1.3 | 1.0 | 37.19 | Veteran defensive stabilizer, Grant was one of the interior players Orlando repeatedly used to help contain Iverson’s drives. His responsibilities were largely physical and connective: protect the paint, rebound and make Philadelphia pay for overhelping, although the 76ers’ 57-36 rebounding edge showed how difficult that assignment became. | — |
| Matt Harpring | Physical Defensive Wing (1.05) | 20.5 | Medium | 8.3 | 5.0 | 1.8 | 0.3 | 35.57 | Physical defensive wing, Harpring was trusted with difficult assignments against Iverson despite being a rookie. He also supplied unexpected rebounding and toughness, a role that had already emerged during the season when Chuck Daly praised his willingness to play through a bloody, physical game against Cleveland. | NBA All-Rookie First Team (1999) |
| Isaac Austin | Starting Interior Scoring Option (1.05) | 28.0 | Medium | 6.5 | 4.0 | 2.0 | 1.8 | 33.03 | Starting interior option, Austin was supposed to give Orlando a dependable inside presence against Philadelphia’s smaller perimeter attack. Daly used him alongside several other big defenders when Iverson penetrated, and Austin’s ability to hit short interior shots mattered even though Philadelphia’s pressure limited his overall offensive involvement. | — |
| Bo Outlaw | Defensive Utility Forward (1.05) | 20.8 | Medium | 4.5 | 3.8 | 0.5 | 2.3 | 25.64 | Defensive utility forward, Outlaw became particularly valuable when Orlando needed another long, active defender around the paint. His 2.0 blocks per game underline the rim-protection component of that assignment, while his limited shot volume allowed the Magic to keep their defensive focus without taking possessions away from the guards. | — |
| Michael Doleac | Rookie Interior Counterpunch (1.0) | 10.8 | Low | 4.3 | 3.0 | 0.0 | 0.3 | 15.20 | Rookie interior counterpunch, Doleac briefly became an important offensive wrinkle when Philadelphia concentrated on Orlando’s veteran stars. He scored 11 points in the opener and had previously earned Daly’s trust during the regular season when the coach deliberately kept him on the floor instead of Austin. | NBA All-Rookie Second Team (1999) |
| Derek Strong | Veteran Frontcourt Enforcer (1.0) | 16.0 | Low | 4.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 1.0 | 10.00 | Veteran frontcourt enforcer, Strong’s role was reduced to emergency interior minutes as Orlando leaned on Grant, Austin and Outlaw. His lone appearance came in a physical series where Daly repeatedly needed another big body to challenge Iverson’s drives and Philadelphia’s interior pressure. | — |
| Dominique Wilkins | Veteran Scoring Specialist (1.0) | 3.0 | Low | 2.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 4.00 | Veteran scoring specialist, Wilkins was essentially a situational option at the end of Orlando’s rotation. Daly even turned to him briefly in a desperate second-quarter adjustment during the series, but Philadelphia’s pace and physicality left little room for a 39-year-old scorer to establish a regular role. | — |
| B.J. Armstrong | Emergency Ball-Handling Reserve (1.0) | 1.5 | Low | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 1.00 | Emergency ball-handling reserve, Armstrong saw only token minutes as Orlando kept its primary guard trio on the floor for most of the series. His experience offered insurance, but the coaching staff clearly preferred Hardaway, Armstrong and Anderson for the major backcourt responsibilities. | — |
| Danny Schayes | Veteran Center Insurance (1.0) | 8.0 | Low | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.00 | Veteran center insurance, Schayes was used only when Orlando needed another traditional interior body. The 39-year-old’s playoff appearance was strictly situational, with the Magic instead relying on Austin, Grant, Outlaw and Doleac for the bulk of their frontcourt workload. | — |
| Team Totals | — | 240.0 | — | 86.3 | 39.5 | 19.8 | 12.8 | — | Orlando’s playoff offense revolved around Hardaway, Anderson and Armstrong, while Daly repeatedly searched for ways to contain Iverson through multiple perimeter defenders and crowded interior help. Philadelphia ultimately won the first-round series 3-1. | — |
