17. Orlando Magic

Projected Starting Frontcourt: Aaron Gordon, Serge Ibaka, Nikola Vucevic

Another team with a lot of young talent that hasn’t translated into many wins in recent years. The arrival of Ibaka adds some veteran leadership and has nice shooting range. Vucevic was top 25 PER at 21.1, capable of nightly double-doubles and is really talented with his back to the basket.

The biggest question is Aaron Gordon who needs to develop further and prove he is more than just an athletic drunker. He was given plenty of time at the end of the year and looks to continue off that moderate success.

Next: No. 16
