Vucevic: ‘I’m not here to replace Dwight’
But the guess here is that Nikola Vucevic, 21, a native of Montenegro, will start the regular season at Howard’s old haunt.
The Magic like the 6-11 Vucevic’s versatile offensive skill set. They view the 6-10 Ayon as an Energizer Bunny off the bench.
“I’m not here to replace Dwight,” said Vucevic, who arrived in the mammoth Howard trade, through the Philadelphia 76ers. “Dwight’s specific in his way. I’m totally different. I’m more of a skilled player with a high basketball IQ.
“I can shoot the ball and pass the ball. I think I do a lot of things fans won’t see.”
