Fantasy Analysis
In Pietrus, 26, Orlando sees a lockdown defender and proven scorer. He averaged a career-best 11 points and started half the season for the Warriors in 2006-07, but fell out of Golden State coach Don Nelson's rotation last season. He is also a career 35 percent 3-point shooter, important to the trigger-happy Magic. Excluding free agent Maurice Evans, who isn't expected to return, Pietrus' addition gives Orlando a total of four players at the shooting guard spot. (Updated 07/10/2008).
