The Orlando Magic’s 2014-15 season was taking a turn for the better until Orlando’s star player, Victor Oladipo, suffered a facial fracture and will miss the first month of the 2014-15 season. But Magic fans still have plenty of reasons to get excited about the upcoming season, and here are five reasons why Orlando should be excited about the 2014-15 version of the Magic.

Ben Gordon has gone from a premier player to a washed up bench player. But during the offseason, Gordon showed flashes of his earlier self, and with Victor Oladipo missing the first month of the season, Gordon will be the team’s starting shooting guard. This is his time to prove that he can still be a scorer in the NBA.

Aaron Gordon may be a little raw on the offensive end, but he plays with heart and hustle, and could become a premier defensive stopper. In addition to his hustle, Gordon is also a freak of athletic nature, and he will provide a wealth of highlights for the Magic in 2014-15.

Nikola Vucevic has been locked up for the next four years, and he should be ready to take the next step into stardom. In a league that lacks quality big men, Vucevic should develop into one of the NBA’s best centers in 2014-15.

Tobias Harris has a rare gift in which he can dominate his opponent on the inside and outside. Harris is a 20 point, seven rebound, one block per game type of player, and it will be exciting to watch him grow into the role of being the Magic’s go-to player down the stretch in 2014-15.

The more I watched Elfird Payton in the preseason, the more I became convinced that he was the best point guard in the 2014 NBA Draft, and Payton has a great chance at taking home the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award. That should definitely get Magic fans excited for the 2014-15 season.
