2018 Orlando Magic Player Outlook: Troy Caupain
The Orlando Magic took a chance on the young Troy Caupain, hoping to translate his strong defensive showing in college into a promising prospect.
Every NBA team brings in players for camp hoping they strike it big and get someone who fell through the cracks. Doing so has been made easier thanks to the advent of the G-League.
Teams often will attach guaranteed money and a promise to include the player with the G-League team, keeping them close for a mid-season call-up. Several teams have kept their second two-way contract spot open as an enticement to keep the best players who may not quite make the main roster.
