Orlando Magic

2016 3-point Accuracy: 33.9 percent

Thompson 3-point Accuracy: 38.9 percent

The Orlando Magic have an uphill battle to get to the 2017 NBA Playoffs. A bit of luck, and bit of risk, and some strategic moves would go a long way to helping the team.

Right now, the Magic need to show some positive momentum.  Despite a solid starting five, the team struggles to manufacture points, sitting at 24th in the league.  Combine that with the 26th in three point shooting accuracy, and you see where this might be a good fit for “Trey” Thompson.

Right now, the team has two year veterans Damjan Rudez and CJ Wilcox, neither see much playing time. Should the  team desire to give Thompson a trial, the team would not be hurt opening a roster spot.

Thompson’s artillery would be just the thing to help this team.  Once more, his versatility to play at either shooting guard or small forward could give the Magic solid options going forward as well.
