Orlando Magic Offseason Manifesto: Attacking free agency and the trade market

The Orlando Magic began the process of reconstructing their roster with the selections of Mohamed Bamba, Melvin Frazier and Justin Jackson in the NBA Draft.

Taking Mohamed Bamba sixth overall was most notable for a couple reasons. First, investing that level of draft capital signals Bamba is undoubtedly one of the team’s core pieces.

Secondly, with the selection of Bamba, the Magic now employ three players who only play one position: Center (in Nikola Vucevic, Bismack Biyombo and now Mohamed Bamba). Truthfully, one could argue Khem Birch (whose contract became fully guaranteed June 30) should probably only play center as well.
