Being the most stacked team in the league at the center position should leave an organization in a comfortable spot. With the NBA's top starting and backup center in Dwight Howard and Marcin Gortat, the Orlando Magic are finding out that that's not necessarily true. Gortat has expressed his frustration with his small role for the Magic. In only about 15 minutes of action a night for Orlando, the seven footer is ...
