Magic Players Impressed With Clifford's Attention to Detail
ORLANDO – Opening training camp with a new head coach has become a quite familiar practice for many of the Orlando Magic’s players, but a couple of major differences stood out to them on Tuesday while working for Steve Clifford for the first time.

Then, there’s this facet of a Clifford practice that resonated with many Magic players right away on Tuesday: The veteran coach demands laser-like focus at all times and he harps on players exhibiting an attention to detail in every facet of the game.
