ORLANDO – Like a kid moving into a new school who knows little about his surroundings or the people closest to him, Al-Farouq Aminu is trying to integrate himself onto an Orlando Magic team that is experiencing unprecedented continuity with 12 players back from last season.
It’s a good thing that he is so incredibly versatile – both on the basketball court and off of it in terms of blending in to fit the needs of whatever team he is on. Otherwise, he might be shunned and looked at as an outsider, Aminu playfully joked when asked recently about his transition.
