If you watched last year’s All-Star Weekend in Toronto, you saw how fun Aaron Gordon can be with the ball in his hands in the slam dunk contest against Minnesota Timberwolves wing Zach LaVine.
Elfrid Payton has some of the wackiest, yet best hair in the entire league; hair that’s only rivaled by one Jeremy Lin.
The pieces are nice, but it’s a cluster of guys that may or may not fit all together under Vogel. Jeff Green and Bismack Biyombo were brought in during the free agency period, along with Serge Ibaka being traded for Victor Oladipo.
This could be a game where the Bulls get on track defensively and get some stops against an offense that handicaps itself with their personnel.
Projected starting lineups:
Magic – Elfird Payton, Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon, Serge Ibaka and Nikola Vucevic
Bulls – Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson and Robin Lopez
