Nikola Vucevic: The Big Man Nobody’s Talking About
The Orlando Magic aren’t a great team by any definition of the word. Yet, one of their young stars, Nikola Vucevic, is worth talking about.
Vucevic is now reaching his potential as a reliable scoring option, and his average of 18.3 points per game (whilst making 51 percent of his shots) is easily the best scoring output of his career. He’s still knocking down his midrange jumper to help stretch the floor (shooting 44 percent from between 10-16 feet, and 42 percent from just inside the three-point line) and crashing the boards as well as ever with 11.8 rebounds per game.
The young Magic star has continued to improve every season of his four-year NBA career, and deserves more recognition for how he’s playing right now.
