The Orlando Magic sign G/F Mickael Pietrus
The Magic have signed G/F Mickael Pietrus to a multi year contract. Pietrus is 25 years old and he is 6′6″, 215 pounds and he should be the starting shooting guard for the Magic this season. He is a decent offensive player but his strength is on defense which will be a welcome addition to the Magic. Pietrus played in 66 games (16 starts) with the Warriors last season and he averaged 26.9 minutes, 7.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Pietrus has now played in 310 games (97 starts) in his NBA career and he have averaged 21.0 minutes, 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. One area in Pietrus’ game needs to improve and it’s shooting free throws as he has only hit 66.2% of his shots from the line. Still, this was a good move for the Magic as they have made their starting lineup even stronger than it was last season.
