Peyton Siva

Peyton Siva joins his second NBA team in as many seasons. During his rookie season, Siva averaged 2.3 points, 0.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.4 steals in nine minutes per game through 24 games. He shot 32 percent from the floor on 2.4 attempts and 73 percent from the free-throw line on 0.6 attempts. Siva spent more than half his rookie season in the D-League, not garnering substantial NBA minutes until the final two weeks of the regular season. The Orlando Magic, currently rostering one more than the allowable 15 players, are expected to waive Siva after the preseason, and barring any unexpected claim on the 23-year-old second-round pick, sign him to their D-League affiliate. Even with their thin depth at point guard, the Magic can equip Victor Oladipo and Evan Fournier as primary ballhandlers, making Siva a long-term investment not likely to contribute meaningful minutes outside of defensive nudnik.
