No, he wouldn't.

He is averaging 17 & 8. Not his best season statistically (not even close), us being a few games over .500 isn't enough to overcome that. There are a lot of forwards from the east deserving this year, he'd need to be putting up close to 20/10 to have a shot. Maybe he'll bring those averages up by February.

No, he's not an All-Star. Maybe honorable mention, at best.

He's slow defensively, slow to switch, and cannot jump with the very big's.......

I cannot see the Magic winning a Title with him as a traditional center...not that way anymore...small ball/quickness.

He's a 20/10 guy BASED on his minutes on the court...someone has to score eventually, to get us 80-100 points per game.

If a guy like Cousins became available, I'd package Vuc and "no neck" Oladipo in a heartbeat for a trade.

This is what Hennigan gets paid millions to do...think things over...and make a deal.

We need a star,forum.

Vuc has seen an increased role AND minutes lately, so if that continues his averages will definitely keep rising. Per36 he's averaging 20/10.

Clearly if he keeps playing like he has lately he's an all-star. Time will tell if this is the new Vuc or if it's just a hot streak.

It's similar to what we saw last season when we started going to him more... two consecutive months of 22 pts on 55% fg. Only reason he fell off is because Borrego decided to slide him to PF and start Dedmon at C. Big difference seems to be passing... Vuc looks a lot more comfortable in that regard and should be able to punish teams if they consistently double him.

For his "iso" offensive game i agree (when we give him the ball in the paint 7-8 seconds before the shot clock expiration, then he had to take position and make a shot with is panel of move because the play in place didn't work) but he is now above average in the passing game (i think his friendship with Fournier is the key here) and is light ahead of last year defense (which is not hard given what his defense was last year). He also have a better feeling in the right spot to take in the paint, he known when to take a step back at right time to let the lane free for the slasher (like I said before, mostly with Fournier).

Last year, he was near All-Star level only with is offensive game, then I think now, with a upgrade at passing and defense, he is the second big in the East behind Drummond (who is his opposite, very good defense and decent offense).

If the coach want two big, he will be in, if not, he will be the first sub for the interior position.

I remember you by your (Please Use More Appropriate Word) and braindead posts.

If u know something about this game, you would think more good about Vuc.

Also saying Hezonja is bust and he should quit BB and sell burgers.

You Sir ,are, an idiot.
