Patricio

Garino

It’s a training camp deal for the senior out of George Washington. In his senior season for the Colonials, Garino averaged 14.1 points, 4.2 boards, 1.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.5 3-pointers. Garino will be playing for Argentina during the Olympics.

He hasn’t decided if he will join the D-League yet, but he could make more money overseas.

Garino was with the Spurs during training camp, but obviously didn’t make the final 15-man roster. The Magic will sign him for the remainder of the season with a non-guaranteed salary for 2017-18, so they will be able to take a long look at him over the offseason. Fantasy owners can ignore him for now.

It sounds like Vogel would like to get an extended look at some of the younger guys on the roster tonight, so Mario Hezonja could see his minutes in the 30s again, and new additions Marcus Georges-Hunt and Patricio Garino could see some extended minutes in the rotation. If these guys do indeed earn significant minutes in the rotation tonight, Terrence Ross might only see his minutes in the 20s.

Vogel hinted after shootaround that he would not stick with his usual rotation on Wednesday night in order to get a better look at some of the younger guys on the roster, so meaningful minutes for the aforementioned players will likely come at the expense of Evan Fournier, Terrence Ross and Nikola Vucevic.

No fantasy impact here, as Orlando’s newest signees are not expected to crack the rotation even when available.

Evan Fournier was out with a sore right wrist and the severity of the injury is unknown -- the Magic have nothing to play for at this point, so more DNPs are possible. Meeks’ third quarter was the highest-scoring quarter for any Magic player this season, and it’s hard to trust him with Orlando shifting toward player evaluation -- guys like Marcus Georges-Hunt, Patricio Garino and Mario Hezonja could all usurp Meeks’ minutes, even if Fournier misses more time.

Garino was a late-season addition to Orlando’s roster last year, but he only managed to get on the court for a total of five games, and didn’t do much while he was out there. Maybe he’ll be able to snag a training camp deal with another club, but he won’t be a factor in fantasy hoops in any scenario.
