Nikola Vucevic believes he's the starting center in Orlando
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic believes that he will be the team's starting center next season, according to an interview he gave recently.
What It Means:
The Magic recently signed center Bismack Biyombo, and regardless of what Vucevic believes right now, there's plenty of room for doubt about whether or not he'll be the starter to open the season.
Biyombo ranked 40th in the NBA with a 4.4 nERD last season, compared to Vucevic's 1.6 nERD that ranked 64th. Vucevic averaged 18.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game on the season. His .531 true shooting percentage was his worst since his rookie season, while his 16.7 percent total rebound rate was a career-low.
