1. Whos the 2013-14 most valuable player?

Ryan Drawdy: Arron Afflalo. He may not factor into the future plans of the organization, but if were zooming in on this year alone, theres no other answer. Afflalo gave the team an offensive punch it hardly possessed otherwise. The only other option here would be Vucevic, but he played in 16 less games and wasnt as consistent a threat to defenses.

Jacob Frankel: Arron Afflalo. Nikola Vucevic has been close in quality of play, especially with Afflalos late season lull, but just hasnt played enough games to be in contention for the Magic MVP.

Spencer Lund: Arron Afflalo. He shot over 42 percent from beyond the arc, and while his performance on a game-by-game level dropped significantly in March and April, he was the biggest reason other Magic players got open looks offensively. His shooting had to be respected, but that tapered off at the end (like the Magic) and his defense is overrated at this point.

Andrew Lynch: Arron Afflalo. Value was hard to come by for the Magic this year, but Spell Check managed to give the people a show. He garnered legitimate All-Star consideration, which is not an easy task for a team on its way to a top-three pick.

Tim Sartori: Arron Afflalo. Afflalo was huge for the Magic this season, particularly through the first half prior to the All-Star break, he averaged 19.4/4.1/3.7 on excellent shooting percentages. He slowed down a bit in the second half of the season, but he was still without a doubt the Magics best player.
