Who is the Orlando Magic’s leader?

Bismack Biyombo

Another option on the roster capable of being the team leader is high motor-man Bismack Biyombo.

Biyombo has everything working against him to be the leader of the Magic except his game. He is not the best offensively. Questionably, he is not the best on defense either. He doe snot have the highest rebounding average or blocked shots average.

Biyombo will always be viewed as the last option whenever he is on the floor offensively.

For now.

Biyombo appears to finally be coming into his own as a full-time starter.

He may not be the glitter and glamor as leaders usually are in the scoring column but his intensity, effort and toughness will never be questioned.

At 6-foot-9, Biyombo usually lines up at center and is tasked with guarding the premiere big men in the NBA. He never backs down from a challenge and anchors the big man spot regardless who Orlando pairs him with on the floor.

And Frank Vogel and the Magic need a defensive anchor.

Expectedly, Biyombo does not contribute much on the offensive end on a nightly basis, but he does command a bit more respect than originally anticipated.

Within a five-foot radius, Biyombo is a solid finisher nearing a 50 percent field goal percentage. At times Biyombo attempts a decent jump shot or hook shot and converts those shots. Biyombo is clearly working hard to improve individually and as a leader of a team needs to be the hardest worker of the bunch. 

Orlando already has Biyombo locked in for three more seasons after this current year. Unless something drastic happens in the Magic front office, he will be in a  Magic uniform for the distant future.  It seems right to designate him as the leader of the team.
