No. 13: Orlando Magic

There may not be one guaranteed star player in Orlando, but the Magic do have a compelling young group that they should be able to keep mostly intact for the next five seasons.

Having Elfrid Payton, Victor Oladipo, Evan Fournier, Mario Hezonja, Tobias Harris, Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon and Shabazz Napier on a roster is probably going to make a formidable team in 2020. Even though Orlando probably cannot keep all of them, they’ll come out of the next half-decade with some great homegrown talent.

The only reason the Magic aren’t higher is because they have no surefire star player. Oladipo and Vucevic are close, but neither are locks to be truly great. If either of them do develop into a star, Orlando should end up being a top team five seasons from now.

Next: No. 14
