Nikola Vucevic getting praise from Magic
Nikola Vucevic - C - Orlando Magic
Jan. 1, 2013 - 4:05 PM ET
Following Nikola Vucevic's 20-point, 29-rebound outburst against the Heat Monday night, coach Jacque Vaughn said it was "one of the most satisfying moments" of the season.
The Magic are desperate for the 7'0/240 Vucevic to pan out, so they're giving the second-year man all he can eat. Over the last 16 games, he's averaging 33.2 minutes per night and has responded with 12.1 points, 12.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks while shooting 53.5 percent from the field. With the Magic painfully thin along the front line, we know the minutes will be there. Fantasy owners can safely jump on board.
