ORLANDO – What if Nikola Vucevic and Mohamed Bamba, in their dual pursuit of minutes and a starting role at the center position, actually become a formidable one-two punch for the Orlando Magic instead of heated competitors locked into an either-or battle?
They are, after all, teammates with a budding friendship and a shared desire to help the Magic win big this season. Of course, both are fiery competitors who want to start games, be on the floor at crunch time and make the plays that will lift the Magic to new heights this season.
