The Magic made some exciting moves this offseason, but does the team’s busy frontcourt create more question marks than opportunities?

While the Orlando Magic’s offseason moves have given fans plenty of reasons to be optimistic, they also create a lot of major question marks. Starting with the crowded front court and how it might look in Frank Vogel’s new system.

In his introductory presser, Vogel told reporters he intends to take advantage of the team’s athleticism, play with pace and space, and run the floor. The roster’s arsenal of versatile bigs will give him some very interesting opportunities for rotations in that kind of system.

But they each carry their own limitations that could cause the offense to stutter.

Bismack Biyombo, Serge Ibaka, Nikola Vucevic, Jeff Green and Aaron Gordon all will have to see significant minutes. That congestion could cause some headaches especially in the first few weeks of the season.

Here is how the Magic’s big men might look in their new digs.
