Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 NBADraft.net's 2012 Orlando Summer League Recap The two-headed frontcourt monster of forward Andrew Nicholson and center Kyle O’Quinn should have Orlando Magic fans feeling pretty comfortable about the future, regardless of what happens with Dwight Howard. Both players came in with similar concerns about each of them, respectively. How would the small school players’ games carry over to the next level? In the entire week at Orlando, neither draft pick seemed out of place. Nicholson, who was perceived to be a stretch “4” by a lot of pundits, proved he can do damage on the interior as well. He was able to score from all angles, rebound the basketball and scare opposing players to death with his freakishly long arms. While Nicholson’s athleticism isn’t top shelf, it appears that his basketball I.Q. is. The Magic should plan for this youngster to play a lot of minutes this season. O’Quinn carries with him a man’s game. His wide-bodied frame consistently moved opposing players at will and he knows how to defend well without fouling. Throughout the week, he was the perfect compliment to Nicholson. He plays the game relaxed, which simply seems to be his demeanor if you’ve ever seen him interviewed. Regardless if Orlando trades Dwight Howard or holds onto him, it is apparent that O’Quinn will get his minutes at some point very quickly. One other rookie that really stood out was former Villanova point guard Malik Wayns. Wayns was only with the Magic for a short stint, opting to join Golden State’s team in the Vegas Summer League, but he impressed greatly during his time in Orlando. He managed 10 assists in the opening game and it was apparent in other games as well that he knew how to distribute the ball. Though he played in just over half of the team’s games, Wayns still managed to receive Honorable Mention accolades at the Orlando Summer League. As for current Magic players, guard DeAndre Liggins and forward Justin Harper stood out. Liggins’ play was not anything spectacular on the offensive end, but his defense and his willingness to defend the other team’s best perimeter player makes him invaluable. For that reason alone, Liggins should see an increase in minutes. Harper was able to provide steady offense, posting a 12 points per game average throughout the week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayns headed to Sixers camp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
