C.J. Watson had been coveted by the Orlando Magic dating back into the Otis Smith era. Watson is a 6-foot-3 guard who is capable of playing both the point and 2-spot, and he is going to see significant minutes this year. We know that because Watson always has received significant minutes.
In six of his eight NBA seasons he has seen 18 minutes or more per game, and he has averaged 23 minutes or more in four of those seasons.
While Elfrid Payton may have shined as a rookie, Watson is going to be there to steady the ship if Payton should ever get erratic this year.
