Though it may not have been more than an afterthought in the Orlando Magic’s busy offseason, the signing of Khem Birch could loom the most important signing the team made this summer.
Khem Birch, signed on the same day as veterans Marreese Speights and Arron Afflalo did not get the fanfare the aforementioned veterans received. Why? The simple answer is Birch is a young and emerging player, as opposed to an established NBA role player. He was a bit of a man of mystery, going undrafted out of UNLV and making his name in Euroleague more than the NBA or D-League.
