PF, 6'9, 224 pounds, 7' wingspan, 25 yrs old. Averaged 17.8 ppg and 12.8 rpg in the g-league last season. Can't shoot.

Led the G-League in rebounding this past year while setting a new G-League record for double-doubles.

Mod Edit: Merged topics.

averaged 8.6 ppg, 12.6 rpg, 1.4 bpg in 28.6 mpg during summer league

Talented but I’d have preferred more of a scorer for the second two way spot.

Be interesting to see what happens with Justin Jackson now.

So he's a rebounder/fouls-to-give kinda guy?
Welcome to the O-Town, Amile! Glad to have you.

yeah but what's his wingspan?

It's clear as day that WeHam will draft Bol Bol next year.

Also loved the heart he showed in college.

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.

Noice.

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.

with all the huge trades and signings we are doing

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"

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

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.
