6 years agoOrlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had another impressive preseason showing Friday night against the Rio de Janeiro Flamengo. Vucevic scored 21 points on 8-for-16 shooting and also posted seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 25 minutes. Vucevic was actually overshadowed in this game by Aaron Gordon's 29-point explosion. However, this brings Vucevic's preseason averages to 20.5 points on 51.5 percent shooting, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 24.3 minutes over two games. Vucevic's season was shortened due to a hand injury last year, but he's entering the season on the tear. Vucevic has been a nightly double-double threat throughout his career and should continue to do so while rookie Mohamed Bamba is still being acclimated to the big stage.--Dale Johnson - RotoBaller
