Frank Vogel, new-look Magic face crucial month ahead

One of the most difficult jobs in Orlando these days belongs to the Magic's new coach, Frank Vogel.

True, the roster that Vogel has inherited features more talent and more depth than the rosters Jacque Vaughn and Scott Skiles coached. But the team's recent offseason improvements came at a price: a lack of familiarity. Only six players — Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon, Mario Hezonja, Elfrid Payton, Nikola Vucevic and C.J. Watson — return from last year's squad. This year's team will take some time to jell, if it jells at all.

The Magic will hold their first official training-camp practice on Tuesday.
