Evaluating Willie Green's 2014-15 season

Willie Green’s career took a 180-degree turn over the last year.

A year ago at this time, he was playing for the Los Angeles Clippers, a team with NBA title aspirations.

In June, everything changed. The Clippers released him in a salary-cap move with the hope of re-signing him. But the Magic claimed Green off waivers.

The move concerned Green at first, but he handled the transition to the rebuilding Magic with grace. In a season filled with change for himself and for his new team, Green served as a stabilizing force in the locker room and provided some quality minutes off the bench, especially late in the season.
