ORLANDO – Shabazz Napier is a two-time collegiate national champion, a former Most Outstanding Player in the Final Four and a first-round pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Still, the 6-foot-1 guard could be in a battle to make the Magic’s roster when it comes to cut-down day just before the start of the regular season.
Napier almost certainly helped his cause to make the Magic on Wednesday when he drilled a clutch 3-point shot with 3.5 seconds remaining to beat the Miami Heat – coincidentally the team that traded him away to the Magic this past summer.
