Starts Last Season: 8

Projected Minutes Per Game: 27.4

In recent years, the Orlando Magic have assembled a roster of young and exciting players. An integral part of the team's future outlook includes Aaron Gordon who looks to rebound from a rocky rookie season.

Gordon missed 35 games last season but finished strong by logging a promising 27.5 minutes per contest over the last seven games. He carried that momentum into the 2015 Orlando Summer League where he went on to average 21.7 points and 11.7 rebounds in 32.7 minutes per game. Gordon will look to further legitimize his time on the court with the continual development of his jump shot.

Gordon's unique mix of size, speed, and ball-handling can propel him to a vastly-improved second year in the league. With the rebuilding process in full swing down in Orlando, Gordon is primed to become more of a focal point moving forward.
