Magic's Bismack Biyombo: Will get start at center Sunday
Biyombo will start at center in Sunday's preseason matchup with the Hawks, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Analysis:
With Nikola Vucevic (rest) sitting out, look for Biyombo to get some extended run with the starters as coach Frank Vogel looks to assess if the free-agent pickup fits in well with the top unit. Given Vucevic's shooting struggles this offseason and his lack of impact on the defensive end, it's not hard to envision Biyombo surpassing him on the depth chart. Biyombo doesn't have much of an offensive arsenal beyond dunks and putbacks, but his mobility, tireless motor and long limbs make him a strong rebounder and intimidating shot blocker.
