Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Shines while team falters

Vucevic scored 24 points (11-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added 14 rebounds, six assists and one block in Wednesday's 123-107 loss to the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

Vucevic was one of the few bright spots in a game that was never all that close. He posted his third double-double of the season, and also knocked down his first three-pointer, an area where he had looked to expand his game during the preseason. Vucevic continues to hold off Bismack Biyombo for the starting center spot, and should continue handling the bulk of the minutes at the position if he can provide double-double production with consistency.
