That is the strange thing about this season. Several Magic players are having career years. Nikola Vucevic has looked like an All Star, particularly this week. Victor Oladipo is rounding into form showing an outstanding offensive improvement. Elfrid Payton has stepped up as a rookie. Tobias Harris has had his moments.

They have not been able to get it all together though. There is no reason they should not be winning with all these key players performing well.

And all these big games might go to waste. The Magic’s record ultimately may keep Vucevic out of the All-Star Game.
