Untouchables

Aaron Gordon

There is no debate anymore.

The Orlando Magic view Aaron Gordon as the organization’s centerpiece and future. He may be a year or two away from superstardom, but expect Gordon to burst onto the scene this year.

He turned in a 17-point performance in the preseason finale Thursday and promised there was much more to come. This was far from his strongest performance. And this was on a still-healing sprained ankle.

This potential makes him untradable.

Bismack Biyombo

The Orlando Magic spent big-time money on Bismack Biyombo. The 24-year-old should be a part of the Magic organization for a lengthy amount of time.

The Magic will not shop Biyombo around in his first year in Orlando after signing him to a four-year deal. Head coach Frank Vogel loves a rim-protector at the five as well, leaving Biyombo’s job relatively safe.

Evan Fournier

Along with Biyombo, the Magic made a long-term commitment at shooting guard.

The team re-signed Evan Fournier to a five-year, $85-million contract. The Magic view Fournier as a franchise piece. And he played extremely well last season.

So far in the preseason he has had a good showing and looks to be safe for a long time.

Mario Hezonja

In his second year in the league, Mario Hezonja needs to take a big step. The Magic are going to need a spark coming off the bench.

Hezonja should provide that this season and is a very young player. Frankly, there is not a reason for the Magic to give up on him quite yet, despite suggestions to the contrary.
