Orlando Magic

Paolo is still a serious asset, but this board is harder on him than a straight basketball ranking would be. The scorer's frame, late-clock shot creation, and top billing in Orlando are real strengths, yet a lot of the market has already moved as if the star answer is settled. There is still room here, just not as much as the reputation suggests.
