Troy Caupain was on the Orlando Magic roster for the preseason. He even had a nameplate in a locker at the Amway Center. But fans never saw him on the court in preseason. Nor did the media see him much at practice. Caupain was an affiliate player — the Magic essentially signed him to the training camp roster to get this status and give him a little extra money.
Troy Caupain — along with Rodney Purvis — both took that deal to play with the Lakeland Magic. It is safe to say Caupain is using that opportunity to its best.
