The importance of Wesley Iwundu to the Orlando Magic

Second-year forward Wesley Iwundu is not a flashy player.

His stats in the box score are underwhelming. So far this season he is averaging only 4.6 points per game, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.8 assists. His plus/minus on some nights is downright appalling.

A quick glance at Wesley Iwundu’s averages and stat lines may lend itself to the string of DNPs next to his name. But his numbers do not tell the whole story.

Iwundu plays within himself on the court. It is probably the biggest positive of his game.

Rarely, if ever, does he force shots on the offensive end and his defensive effort always stands out.
