Orlando Magic
Nice Surprise: The Magic are a talented team, and it’s not just Victor Oladipo.
Nilola Vucevic is one of the most versatile centers in theNBA, Elfrid Payton is as steady as they come and Evan Fournier has his weeks. Then, there’s Tobias Harris, who must be the most underrated player in the NBA, averaging at least 14 points and seven rebounds per game this season. And FYI, each of those guys is 25 years old or younger.
Needs Improvement: Not really a critique, just a reminder that this is point in the year the Magic falter. Between December 20th and January 20th in 2013-14, the Magic went 2-14; 3-12 during the same span in 13-14 and 4-10 in 14-15. Maybe this is the bunch to buck the trend.
