The Magic have signed Wesley Iwundu to a three-year, $4.1MM deal, according to Micheal Scotto of Basketball Insiders. Scotto adds that Iwundu’s deal is fully guaranteed.
Iwundu received more guaranteed money than any other second-rounder in this year’s draft class.
Orlando selected the swingman with the No. 33 overall pick in the 2017 draft out of Kansas State University. As a senior, Iwundu scored 13.0 points while pulling down 6.3 rebounds per game. He made 37.6% of his shots from behind the arc on 2.4 attempts per contest.
I’m happy for Wesley, however he must improve his shooting during this off season. I was not impressed with his play during summer league. To get minutes, not only is he expected to play defense but he will have to be able to hit open spot up jumpers as well. With all this said he is a perfect candidate for the G league in Lakeland.
