C.J. Watson

After spending the last two years with the Indiana Pacers, Watson arrived in Orlando this offseason by way of a three-year, $15 million contract. Hampered by foot injuries throughout his stay in the Hickory State, the 31-year-old point guard played 63 games last season and averaged 10.0 points, 3.6 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 steal, and 1.2 three-pointers per game as George Hill's backup. He shot 43 percent from the field, 40 percent from beyond the three-point line, and 83 percent from the free-throw line. On all four franchises during his career, Watson has never been the primary point guard, and there were stretches last season when he was outplayed by journeyman Donald Sloan. An offensive sparkplug, Watson is prone to streaky shooting and defensive lapses. Nevertheless, the eight-year veteran is a career 38-percent three-point marksman, and his sufficient perimeter defense can lead to a substantial reserve role under the Magic's new head coach Scott Skiles.
