Other teams are watching Magic's Diener

[OrlandoMagic (OrlandoMagic)]

Several NBA teams have called the Orlando Magic about acquiring point guard
Travis Diener, who has a make-good contract with the club for next season.
The second year of Diener's deal is only partially guaranteed.

"There's been some interest," Magic General Manager Otis Smith said. Diener
said he has heard the same through the NBA grapevine.

He served as Orlando's third point guard last season as a rookie and will be
back in that role behind Jameer Nelson and Carlos Arroyo if he makes the
team. Diener has "made it tough on us," said Smith, with his stellar
summer-league play.

Diener, 6 feet 1 and 175 pounds, has averaged 15.6 points and seven assists
per game while committing just two turnovers in three games.

After playing spot minutes as a rookie, he said he has been playing freer.

"The way I played in college [at Marquette]," Diener said. "I just didn't
play that way last year. I got down on myself. I got nothing to worry about.
I can't put pressure on myself. You play with that deer-in-the-headlights
look, and coaches recognize that."

Diener said he wants to remain with the Magic, but added, "I understand the
business of basketball."

推 mchardy:新球季要跟J.N.,C.A.,JJ,K.Dooling(還在嗎?)分上場時間..
→ mchardy:很拼....不過希望他留在這....跟JJ組後場雙砲台...>o<
推 UGround:Dooling很可能就會被拉去打SG了
→ UGround:Keith Bogans身高比較高 可能會打先發彌補Nelson的身高
→ UGround:Dooling應該還是沒辦法先發吧0rz
→ UGround:更何況還有個JJRedick 囧 SG的位置還真是擠
→ UGround:不過若是Hill下個球季仍然無法上場那麼Bogans就會去頂SF
→ UGround:SG也不會再那樣擠  不過Hill能上當然是最好...
