Magic to sign Amile Jefferson to two-way contract

Jefferson is a nice pickup and will be a good player for Lakeland next year.

We will see how he continues to develop as well.

The Magic need to have a swing man as the 15th man on the roster now.

Very solid player, quite a few Minnesota fans are bummed to lose him.

With Tatum, Grayson and Kennard... he definitely just did his thing.... but not too many people noticed. haha

I like this pickup... gives a different look at the PF position. Great rebounder and a pretty darn good post player.

I think we are trying to corner the market on 25-year-old prospects.

Be interesting to see what happens with Justin Jackson now.

Probably waiting see how he recovers and ultimately plays in Lakeland.

Oh good. I was hoping for some consistency from our FO. Who needs stupid offense. pffft.."scoring points" :roll:

Probably already the best rebounder on the team. Maybe minus Bamba.

Welcome to the O-Town, Amile! Glad to have you.

I look forward to seeing his defense, but this could be a kind of deep bench player that really helps out looking more long term.

He does have an NBA skill after all: elite rebounding. If he can set picks on offense and provide NBA average defense, he should stick around the NBA for some years.

So Jackson probably isn't ready to play any time soon. Sucks for him. Played through injury at college and messed himself big time

As a Duke and Magic fan I love this signing. Amile is an extremely hard worker, great communicator on the floor, and a great player to have on a team in any capacity. Don’t care if he never sees a lot of playing time, glad he’s here.
