Kalin Lucas is in that uncomfortable region that many professional basketball players occupy. He is somewhere between good enough to star in the D-League but not quite good enough to make it in the NBA. The opportunity for him to play in the NBA has never quite come around. Yet he continued to put up impressive numbers in the D-League.
Even as he signed a contract with the Orlando Magic, that opportunity still seems far away. The Magic roster is loaded with point guards in Elfrid Payton, D.J. Augustin and Shelvin Mack.
