There's a lot of examples of players out there no where close to star level that put up numbers on bad teams. See Gerald Henderson this year, LaPhonso Ellis when he was in Denver, Rodney Stuckey in Detroit, and Shareef Abdur-Rahim in Vancouver (although he was an all-star, but for only one season) to name four that come directly to mind. But Vucevic and Harris are doing quite well, that is fact. I don't know what lottery pick the Magic will have in the draft, but it might be wise for them to trade it, this year's draft is going to be awful.
I feel better about where the Magic are at then I did at this time last year. There is plenty of positives which I see every game. Next year will see some improvement and possibly slipping into the 8th seed. 2014-15 is the season that the Magic end up back in the top 4 of the east if they continue making the smart personnel moves they have post-dwight. I meant look at Nikola Vucevic, he is only in his 2nd year and hasn't reached his full potential and he is already doing more then anybody ever thought possible. Every move has been like that. Tobias Harris, the guy who the Magic got for JJ is simply showing he is a star in the making. Smart personnel moves combined with good drafting and this team will be fine.
I know this isn't a Magic thread or message board so nobody else cares, but I do! haha
