15. Pat Connaughton

Pat Connaughton does all the little things to keep him on the court despite a shaky outside shot. After getting hot in last year’s playoffs, he might be on the verge of another hot streak–he knocked down at least two 3s in five of the six seeding games. He’s also more versatile than we give him credit for, capable of defending three positions.

14. Robin Lopez

Robin Lopez was acquired in case the Bucks run up against a team with an elite offensive center. That doesn’t quite pertain to the Magic, but it will be interesting to see the lineups Orlando throws out there considering Jonathan Isaac and Mo Bamba are out. If they go small, it could limit Lopez’ role.

13. D.J. Augustin

A veteran point guard, D.J. Augustin is a bit past his prime, but he’s still a quality backup point guard. After hitting more than 40 percent of his threes in each of his last two seasons, he’s below 35 percent this year. That will need to change against the Bucks if the Magic want any chance.

12. Donte DiVincenzo

After missing most of his rookie campaign due to injuries, Donte DiVincenzo established himself as a player with a bright future. He snags rebounds, works his tail off on defense and goes flying all over the court for loose balls. He lost a bit of his mojo when play returned, but he has the potential to provide the missing link to a Bucks’ championship run.

11. Markelle Fultz

Finally healthy, Markelle Fultz has been finding his way in the NBA this season. He’s their starting point guard and will have an interesting matchup against Eric. Bledsoe. With all the injuries, a lot of the shot creation will fall on his shoulders; we’ll see if he’s up to it.
