Damjan Rudez and Arinze Onuaku were both signed prior to training camp to non-guaranteed deals. They were both invited to training camp along with another four free agent signings to fight for the final two roster spots in the roster. The Magic previously requested waivers on Branden Dawson, Cliff Alexander and Kevin Murphy.
Rudez was impressive throughout the preseason, especially shooting the ball from behind the arc. He averaged 14.5 minutes per game in preseason and averaged 5.0 points per game, while shooting 55 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from behind the arc.
Rudez will provide the Magic an outside shooting threat off the bench, which is something the team currently lacks. Another area in which Rudez will help the Magic is moving the ball on offense. Rudez did a solid job in preseason distributing the ball on offense and finding the open teammates. This is an area of his game that may be new to some since he has been use mostly as a spot-up shooter throughout his career.
