After having evaluated the top-10 at each position, we turn our attention to comprising a 12-man all-time roster.
We have already taken the labor to determine the top-10 at each position for the Orlando Magic’s 26 NBA seasons (all of which are linked in this slideshow).
No current player ranked any higher than No. 3 at his position, with only Victor Oladipo making the strongest case for going any higher.
Oladipo is the only current player who is able to make the all-time squad, mostly because only he offers a skill set that would be valued on a team replete with scoring options at every position. That is to say, Oladipo’s defensive talents ensure his roster spot in this scenario.
Not surprisingly, compiling a 12-man roster from the results yields a team of mostly past talents.
And naturally, the two Finals teams are represented well, with the 1995 team placing four of its starters and its sixth man among the final 12.
The surprises cannot be entirely ruined already though, so bear with us.
