Examining potential lineups for the Orlando Magic

PG: Elfrid Payton
SG: Evan Fournier
SF: Aaron Gordon
PF: Serge Ibaka
C: Nikola Vucevic

Barring injury or major training camp shenanigans, this lineup will probably be the first one to see the floor for the Orlando Magic come October 26th against the Miami Heat. Payton started 69 of his 73 games last season, and nobody’s been added to the team that stands as an obviously better option. With Victor Oladipo gone, and as the best shooter on the team, Fournier is the obvious choice to join him in the backcourt.

Frank Vogel’s already indicated he plans to run Aaron Gordon at the 3-spot, largely because Serge Ibaka will slide in as the team’s best power forward.
