Orlando Magic Sign Former Local Big Man Prospect

The Orlando Magic's offseason has been a success, given the numerous transactions they've made through free agency and the draft. The organization had clear goals of competing for a championship and put itself in a great position to do so. They still have a standard roster and a two-way slot open to work with.

Fans don't usually pay much attention to the very end of the bench, but those moves can provide a spark in a long 82-game season. The Magic signed Jamal Cain and Orlando Robinson to two-way contracts; both can be impactful when called upon and be development projects. However, the fi nal spot likely won't be filled until after training camp.

The Magic recently signed Lester Quinones to an Exhibit 10 deal, which is essentially a training camp invite. We've reached the point of the offseason when teams will sign players to this kind of contract. The purpose of this is for organizations to add free agents to their G-League affiliate rosters.

This limited opportunity allows players to display their talents and skill sets for the rest of the league. It's similar to an audition in hopes of landing on a team's roster.

According to recent reports, the Magic also signed Colin Castleton to an Exhibit 10 contract. The young center returns to familiar territory, playing three collegiate years with the Florida Gators.
