Keep Vucevic coming off the bench (or trade him if need be), find a sharp shooting SF to play alongside either Fournier or Ross (move one to the bench or package them with Vucevic), and find a Center who is what we all wanted Biyombo to be a (a high energy shot blocker with good rebounding numbers, but preferably one who doesn't botch every offensive touch he gets).
My point being, EP and AG CAN coexist. It requires a certain lineup though, and one the Magic may or may not be able to produce. But these guys will thrive in small ball, but they need sharp shooters at SG AND SF, and our team doesn't have it at either position right now.
Fournier and Ross are sharpshooters, though? Or they serve the purpose of it at least for spacing and movement.
But yeah, AG and EP look at home in this new system.
I think they could be. Evan shot 40% last year, Ross is a consistent 37-39% shooter. Both are having down years, likely because they don't get as much space as they need with the lack of offensive power around them. Hopefully one of them could get into the 40+% range and become deadly but yea, definitely questionable. I think if you could pair one of them with a 40+% shooter (who can do more than just that though, don't want a guy just standing in the corner all game) it would serve. But honestly both spots probably need upgrades in terms of shooting.
