So, who exactly is the Orlando Magic’s sixth man?
In order to speculate about who the sixth man for the Magic mighty be, we first must determine who will be starting.
My guess would be that the starting lineup Steve Clifford sends out for the Magic’s season opener on October 17 will be very similar to that of the Magic’s starting lineup on opening night in 2017, minus Elfrid Payton:
PG: D.J. Augustin
SG: Evan Fournier
SF: Terrence Ross
PF: Aaron Gordon
C: Nikola Vucevic
Three of those spots are probably set in stone with Gordon (now the Magic’s highest paid player at $21.6 million this season), Fournier (led the team in scoring the last two seasons), and Augustin (lack of options at the point guard spot).
