Backcourt: Elfrid Payton & Victor Oladipo
This backcourt will turn plenty of heads this coming season. Elfrid Payton came out of nowhere last season and surprised everyone with his near triple-double on any given night. Not much of a perimeter player, but he falls into the same category as Carter-Williams with the other intangibles he brings to his team.
Victor Oladipo is a breakout star that will hit the fans eyes as soon as the Magic begin to win more games. He can score at will with a terrifying attack-the-basket approach and once he gets comfortable on the perimeter – watch out.
