Did a pretty decent job (there's no way you stop them), good post defender with the athleticism to not be bullied. Most of the Magic defense's problems are related to Vucevic. He's that bad. No rim protection and too slow against switches. Pairing AG with KP would do wonders for him. He's so versatile that he can probably guard 1-4.
On the offensive side, most people think he would be a roll man like Powell, the thing is he is rarely used in PnR action so I'm not sure he would take that role, he is more of a cutter. Good finisher, capable ball handler and underrated passer. The only bad thing he has is his mid-range/post-up, which I believe RC will eliminate. Playing with Augustin/Fultz limits his scoring, a lot of times he's open, but the PG opts for a mid-range. Of course his shooting is the biggest flaw (67% FT, 30% 3-pt), but I feel it's worth a try.
Not really buying it. Vucevic has way better defensive numbers. Be it boxscore, on/off or advanced. The pairing of Isaac and Vucevic had no defensive problems. Gordon and Vucevic on the other hand are terrible.
