That's John Denton, he write for olandomagic.com. He was previously a local sports reporter for years and was way better than Schmitz or Bianchi with the Sentinel, sadly he got screwed over at his job but the Magic did the classy move and hired him. He seems like a really great guy though, and I'm glad he got to stay in Orlando and write for the team, I'm sure it was a dream job for him.

The issue was that the Magic’s most talented three-point shooters — Victor Oladipo, E’Twaun Moore, Arron Afflalo and Jameer Nelson — also happened to be their primary ball-handlers. None of the Magic bigs was really a consistent threat from the outside. The end result was that they weren’t able to stack their units with enough shooting and when they did get a drive-and-kick action working, the ball was often being kicked out to a big man whose range petered out around 18ft.According to the regression model, three-point shooting is twice as valuable from a center compared to a point guard and roughly two-thirds more valuable for big men than perimeter playersHaving Frye on the floor for the Magic next season projects to do more than just move some of their inefficient two-point shots out beyond the three-point line or hand some of those attempts off to a better shooter. Putting Frye on the perimeter pulls a big defender away from the basket, opening driving lanes for Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo and cutting lanes for Mo Harkless and Aaron Gordon. It clears a defender from the paint giving Nikola Vucevic, Gordon or Kyle O’Quinn an advantage on duck-ins or on the offensive glass.
A good shooter manipulates space all over the floor and the Orlando Magic have found themselves one of the best.

Reporter: When you try to quanitfy the effect his shooting has on the team, do you look at his net advanced rating when he's on the court versus off the court... is that the top statistic you guys find most valuable?
Hennigan: Those are a little bit over my head, Josh, so we just kinda rely on the field goal percentage, and the fact that he's a good guy, a good teammate.
Not buying it. You don't make good moves like they (the whole front office) do without looking at advanced stats. Plus they visit nerdy basketball stat conventions

This deserves to be more visible.
