|
| | | ORLANDO: GUARDS: VICTOR OLADIPO, who will miss the first four weeks of season with a facial fracture suffered in a late October practice, will play off the ball more, allowing him to slash from the wing. It's a more natural role for him . . . With Jameer Nelson jettisoned, ELFRID PAYTON will step in as the starter at the point. He has an enormous transition from the Sun Belt Conference, but the quickness and athleticism are there . . . EVAN FOURNIER never found consistency in Denver, but could be a valuable wing shooter on a team that needs it . . . BEN GORDON was signed with a very 'tradeable' contract in mind. The Magic are hoping he shoots well enough to draw some suitors . . . LUKE RIDNOUR is a veteran insurance policy behind Payton . . . WILLIE GREEN can be an effective second-unit player . . . ROY DEVYN MARBLE seems like a D-Leaguer. FORWARDS: The Magic brought in CHANNING FRYE to provide some floor spacing and a veteran presence, both much-needed . . . TOBIAS HARRIS will likely have to play some more small forward. He has the offensive skill set to do it, but defense will continue to be an issue . . . He can play both forward spots, and AARON GORDON should be one of the league's better defensive forwards right off the bat. But for now, his offense is limited to dunking . . . It's a big year for MAURICE HARKLESS, who has yet to establish himself as a rotation-caliber player. With Harris and Gordon capable of playing the 3, Harkless could lose major minutes . . . ANDREW NICHOLSON has a ways to go after a disappointing second season. He's likely on the outside of this rotation. CENTERS: NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a cornerstone player in Orlando because he's big, and he does everything just well enough. He's not a game-changer on either side of the court . . . KYLE O'QUINN has had some good moments in garbage-time games the past two seasons. It's enough to keep him on the roster. | | CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: LANCE STEPHENSON started chucking and padding stats after missing the All-Star team last season, fueling Indiana's collapse. He's a potentially solid role player, but if he tries to be the alpha for the Hornets, it could be a long season . . . KEMBA WALKER has become a solid playmaker, though he'll lose some touches while playing alongside Stephenson . . . The Hornets seem to be done with GERALD HENDERSON, who will stay in the rotation, but see a reduced role with all the Hornets' offseason acquisitions . . . GARY NEAL can play both guard spots as a high-scoring sixth man . . . P.J. HAIRSTON needs to stay out of trouble off the court if he's to have any chance of becoming a three-point specialist off the bench . . . BRIAN ROBERTS steps in as a No. 3 point guard. FORWARDS: Charlotte reloaded in the frontcourt, but MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST will likely claim a starting job due to his defense. It's probably time to accept that MKG will never have much of an offensive game . . . CODY ZELLER will have every opportunity to grab a starting job early on. Unfortunately, his inability to score in traffic limits his effectiveness . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS will see major minutes at both forward spots. He's a capable defender who has added a three-point shot to his repertoire . . . He's still a teenager, so he may not carve out major minutes this year, but NOAH VONLEH has by far the most upside among their 4's and 5's. He's a potentially elite stretch-4 . . . JEFF TAYLOR's Achilles is close to 100 percent. He has a shot to re-claim a rotation spot. CENTERS: AL JEFFERSON is a flawed player, but he gives Charlotte exactly what the team is looking for: A low-post threat on the offensive end of the court. Like Walker, he'll also suffer a bit with Stephenson coming in, but he's still the focal point of this offense . . . He's not quite a bust because he can defend, but BISMACK BIYOMBO hasn't shown any semblance of an offensive game. |

*Magic-Hornets Preview* =======================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Orlando (5-8) at Charlotte (4-8), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Tobias Harris and Nikola Vucevic give the Orlando Magic a formidable frontcourt, and Al Jefferson has done precisely that for the Charlotte Hornets for over a year.
Both teams, however, are still seeking consistency.
Harris and Vucevic will try to help the visiting Magic bounce back from one of their worst performances of the season by sending Jefferson and the Hornets to a season-high fourth straight loss Friday night.
Harris leads Orlando (5-8) with 18.9 points per game, 4.3 higher than his career high set last season. The forward, who is scheduled to be a restricted free agent after the season, is also averaging 7.8 rebounds, second on the team to Vucevic's 11.9 which ranks among the league leaders.
"I've taken the next step in my game and the next level now is continuing to trust my teammates and trust that this whole thing is going to work out for us as a team as long as we play the right way," Harris told the team's official website. "I've told all of the guys on the team, 'You look better individually when we win as a team.' So it really is all about winning."
Like Harris, Vucevic is also thriving offensively. The center is averaging 18.8 points after posting a career-high 14.2 in 2013-14.
The tandem did its part Wednesday, with Harris scoring 25 points and Vucevic adding 19 while pulling down 14 boards. The two shot a combined 16 of 28 but the rest of the Magic shot 18 of 58 in a 114-90 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers.
"Vucevic is an All-Star and a terrific player," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "He's probably the best player in the league that nobody knows. I don't think you hear anybody talking about him, but when you look at his raw numbers they are superstar and All-Star worthy, but nobody knows it.
"He has a great offensive package. He's a great post player with his back (to the basket) and he can face up and make jump shots. He's a good player."
Vucevic totaled 36 points and 37 rebounds in two games - both wins - against Charlotte last season.
Jefferson took full advantage of the two games Vucevic sat out, combining for 59 points and 32 rebounds in a pair of victories. He had 30 points and 19 boards in the other two.
Jefferson's presence in the paint was on display Wednesday, but his 28 points and eight rebounds weren't enough as the Hornets gave up the decisive basket with 0.7 seconds left in an 88-86 loss to Indiana.
The center's performance came two days after his worst effort of the season in a 107-80 loss to Dallas. Jefferson, who averages a team-best 20.7 points, shot 3 for 12 from the field to finish with a season-low six points.
The Hornets are averaging 84.3 points while being outrebounded by an average of 11.7 boards in losing their last three.
