My guess is that the Magic open the season with a 10-man rotation.

Fultz-Fournier-Ennis-Gordon-Vucevic are the starters.

Anthony-MCW-Ross-Okeke-Birch are the reserves.

Bacon, Clark and Bamba on the outside looking in for now.

I think he can play both forward spots obviously but Chuma seems more like a PF to me.

Where is Aminu in this when (if?) he comes back?

Also our 2nd unit might have better shooting than our starters

Well.. you know... Ag Fultz MCW shooting 3s, Evan passing and Vuc doing his lowpost footwork scoring whatever gives us false hope for the season again lol

Personally, I think it depends on how well Chuma plays. If he provides what I think he will for this team, I don't see him being the odd man out. I'd say Ennis is more likely to lose his spot in the rotation than Aminu is. With how bad I anticipate Aminu being though, he's certainly not guaranteed a spot in the rotation.

If Chuma isn't as advertised and struggles early while this team is still parading as one with playoff aspirations, then he may lose his spot to either Clark or Aminu when healthy but I don't see it as likely.

Cole is an entirely different case. I could easily see him out of the rotation at any point during this season for long stretches.

This news is probably the most sensical of the offseason. At least they don’t plan to play these kids out of position like so many fans have suggested.

It's Aaron's girlfriends birthday today. I'm sure he'll have a rough day tomorrow after celebrating.

The biggest thing for me will be seeing how long Clifford can commit to this rotation. I feel in his heart of hearts an MCW/Bacon/Ross/Okeke/Birch second unit is what he's going to be tempted to go to early on and during major stretches of the season, especially if they are in the playoff race.

Cole could shock me and become a microwave scorer off the bench who elevates that second unit, but I will have to see it to believe it. I don't forsee him being that early on.
