7. Frank Vogel, Orlando Magic

Who knows what the Indiana Pacers were thinking when they decided to cut ties with Frank Vogel. However, the Pacers’ loss is the Magic’s gain. Vogel inherits a weirdly constructed team in Orlando, and definitely has his work cut out for him.

It’s going to be interesting to see what Vogel can muster out of this odd roster in Orlando. Though, if there’s any certainty entering the 2016-17 season with the Magic, it’s that they’re going to be good on defense.

If nothing else, Vogel will coach up a stingy defense. That’s for sure. His issues, or weakness, was the other side of the court – defense. Still, I don’t think Vogel at No. 7 should surprise anyone.

Next: No. 6
