The Magic have finally signed someone to their third Two-Way Contract.

It's Ethan Thompson from The Osceola Magic.

He's having a good season down in Osceola. The contract is well-deserved although I thought they would give it to a bigman.

Then again, Mac McClung has hardly played in Orlando even with all of their injuries so there is that.

Can he shoot?

Interesting. Why not add him sooner when we were down so many bodies?

Signing another guard may be a signal to the guards on the roster they aren’t enough.

Regular season + tip-off tournament he’s shooting 38%+ from 3 on 8 attempts. Last season was 35% though so…we’ll see. Can’t be much worse than Caleb though!

This is the big move Weltman promised.

We need a vet point guard and shooters so we did nothing at the trade deadline. We need a 3rd big man that should be signed to a 2-way so we get another guard. These decisions man…

Plays for the Puertorican national team.

Looks like he can. Seems mostly a scorer. We desperately need guard gunners.

Well, if the Magic do buyout Harris to sign a big, Thompson's G-League stats are ok.

I calculate he just got a 170K pay raise. NICE!

Congrats to Thompson for this life-changing money!

We need good ones that will be part of the rotation though. Not ones that suck and will average 4 minutes per game and only plays when we're getting blown out.

40% from the 3 this year on 8 attempts per game. Waive Jett, sign Ethan!

I take it the Magic were not impressed enough with Castleton . . .

There is no disagreement here.

Not very good in college, not great in the G League for his career either. Maybe he is a good defender, I have no idea, nothing about his numbers say he is an NBA player.

38.8% from 3 this year, been around 35% for his career previously. 34% in college.

I do believe he would be the 1st ever NBA player named Ethan if he gets into a game this year.

And-1

I assume he will bring intensity in to the practice squad; and that will be his only job.

In the 10 games CC has been with OM, he's averaging 18ppg, 12+Rpg., 1.2BLKs, 8 double doubles.

Weird to carry 3 guards, with so many guards on the roster already.

What's his wingspan?

I thought it was Etan Thomas for a second, coming in to help our center rotation
