The twin towers concept hasn’t been the most popular in the game of basketball, either at the NCAA level or the NBA. It’s certainly had success, from Ralph Sampson and Hakeem Olajuwon to Tim Duncan and David Robinson—but the movement never really gained steam, and maybe it isn’t the most conventional way of forming a frontline.

But could it ultimately be the best prospect that the 2013 NBA Draft affords the Orlando Magic?

Nikola Vucevic proved himself to be the starting center of the future. In his first full season as an NBA stater, Vucevic finished No. 2 in the league in rebounding, while posting a double-double and emerging as the starter after originally being slated for a time-share with the departed Gustavo Ayon.

Vucevic has all the makings of a future All-Star, but the Magic do have options as to how the team will seek to shape its frontcourt. Tobias Harris and Andrew Nicholson both saw time starting at the 4-spot, but Orlando Magic GM Rob Hennigan may look to some of the 4/5 prospects in this draft to form a far different frontcourt.

Alex Len, Cody Zeller and Nerlens Noel are all projected to be top-five picks in the draft, and all three should be capable of playing some center. Len is likely the only who may be ready to assume full-time duties at the 5-spot, but the fact remains that all three are long, able-bodied NBA big men.

The Orlando Magic are at a crossroads as they approach the 2013 NBA Draft.  They’re likely to land a top-three pick, but the player who best fits their needs is Trey Burke of Michigan. Burke has done nothing but increase his stock since the midway point of the 2012-13 NCAA season, but the 6’0″ floor general is still not expected to go until the 7th overall pick according to NBADraft.net. The Magic’s oldest starter is 31-year-old Jameer Nelson, and ideally Rob Hennigan would like to grab Burke for Nelson to mentor.

Their games are similar, but Burke’s high upside should be the peak Nelson was never able to prolong. If the Magic aren’t able to work a suitable deal to move down, an entirely different direction could be taken. Nerlens Noel was originally slotted by Chad Ford, NBADraft.net and Draft Express as a No. 1 overall pick prior to his horrible ACL injury.

The thing is, we’ve now seen guys come back from this, and though Noel’s injury was particularly gruesome, he was the only one in this draft with perennial All-Star type talent. He showed far more skill offensively than most expected he would, particularly in passing the ball out of double teams and moving without the ball.

Noel is still very raw, but with some hard work and instruction he could be the best player in the draft. There is more, though: Noel further enhances the Magic’s chances of tanking for another high pick in the much more lucrative 2014 crop of rookies.

Whether the Magic trade down for Burke, select Ben McLemore for another team and trade him, or take Noel with a

high selection — It won’t make or break this rebuilding process. Hennigan already landed his major chip when he acquired Tobias Harris, and Nikola Vucevic and Moe Harkless are looking like great acquisitions from the Dwight Howard deal.

The trio could be the Magic’s frontcourt of the future, but Noel is an intriguing prospect who could potentially play both the 4 and the 5. Burke could be the guy that Hennigan sees leading his team into the next era. While Burke and Noel may be entirely different players, it seems Hennigan will be wisest to consider the best two talents in the class. Marcus Smart had been the Magic’s coveted one, but he didn’t enter the draft, which makes the Burke scenario a pretty attractive one for Hennigan.
