Marreese Speights has waited his turn on the Orlando Magic bench. The veteran center has played just 28 minutes in three games and has rarely come off the bench for meaningful minutes.
Part of that is expected. The Magic signed Marreese Speights to a minimum contract. He was not going to come in and take a large role. Speights said he asked his agent to explore a return to his hometown team after other opportunities fell through.
Despite his production off the bench in the last few years, Speights was going to be buried a bit on the depth chart.
