C.J. Watson came to the Magic this offseason on a three-year, $15 million deal. Many, myself included, included viewed Watson as a great option as the backup point for the Magic. He offered defense, shooting and the ability to run the offense steadily while Elfrid Payton took a breather.
Watson’s season did not go nearly the way Magic fans or he had hoped. Watson suffered some mysterious injury (the team called it a calf strain) that had him miss 44 games.
Coming back from the injury Watson was predictably rusty and it took him awhile to get back into NBA shape.
