Orlando Magic Daily Roundtable: The best starting lineup

The Orlando Magic have had some stellar players come through. We gathered the staff together to name the best starting lineup in team history.

We at Orlando Magic Daily just completed our ranking of the top 25 players in Orlando Magic history. That long, and arduous, task was a great look at the franchise’s history and some of the great players who have donned an Orlando Magic uniform.

There is plenty of debate remaining on how to order those 25 players and how to take stock of Magic history — weighing statistics, impact and longevity with the team. Everyone has their own list.

To continue that discussion, we at Orlando Magic Daily elected to follow FanSided’s lead and put together our own best ever Orlando Magic starting lineup — listing the best player at each position in Magic history. That list had its own bit of controversy (you can see the video above) but named Anfernee Hardaway at point guard, Nick Anderson at shooting guard, Tracy McGrady at small forward, Horace Grant at power forward and Shaquille O’Neal at center.

We got the Orlando Magic Daily staff together to name our starting five in that way.
