The Magic gave the former Warriors backcourt star a training camp contract. Does he have the chance to attack the two-way contract?

According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto, the Orlando Magic have signed with Lester Quinones, a backcourt player who was previously in free agency. According to Jason Beede, a reporter from The Orlando Sentinel, what Giniones got from the Magic was a non-guaranteed training camp contract containing Exhibit 10. He needed to compete for the opportunity to stay with the team through his performance in training camp and preseason.

Gigniones was born in November 2000 and is 24 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 94kg. He is the undraft in the 2022 NBA Draft. In the NBA, Giniones has played for the Golden State Warriors, the Philadelphia Sixers and the New Orleans Pelicans. In the NBA regular season, Giniones made a total of 54 appearances, averaging 11 minutes of playing time, averaging 4.8 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.1 blocks, as well as 0.7 turnovers and 1.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 39.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.9%.

In the NBA regular season last season, Giniones made a total of 13 appearances, averaging 14.1 minutes per game, averaging 6.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 1.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 39.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 84.6%. In the NBA Development League last season, Giniones played 36 times for the 76ers' subordinate team Delaware Blueshirts and the Pelicans' subordinate team Birmingham Squadron, with averaging 36.5 minutes per game, with averaging 21.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 3.8 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 43.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 32.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 68.9%. Previously, Giniones also represented the Pelicans in the NBA Summer League. Giniones made a total of 5 appearances in the summer league, averaging 21.6 minutes per game, averaging 8.6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 0.2 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 4.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 34.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 29.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 83.3%.

Gigniones is a reliable scorer in the NBA Development League. He is often able to perform well in the NBA Development League, which is also an important factor in how he can get two-way contracts from NBA teams many times. However, in the NBA, his performance has never been particularly outstanding, and his scoring ability has not been shown. In the previous summer league, as a player with many years of experience in the NBA and NBA Development League, he performed such a disaster, which is also an important factor in the Pelicans' final choice to give up on him.

According to Scotto further, Giniones has the opportunity to compete for a big roster seat, he is the contender for the team's last standard contract, and he may also get a two-way contract. However, under the current circumstances, it may be more likely that Giniones will get a two-way contract. The current situation of the Magic is that they were hit hard by the first tycoon, and their total salary is no longer low. They do not have enough space to sign the 15th man of the team with a standard contract without trading and reducing staff. I don’t know if this powerful scorer can continue to appear in the NBA field in the new season.
