After having an increased role in his second season, Orlando Magic forward Caleb Houstan is beginning to put the pieces together.
Caleb Houstan was one of many players whose role fluctuated over the course of the season for the Orlando Magic.
Houstan's role varied from having a stretch where he started seven straight games for the Magic and to not even stepping on the court in four of their seven games against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. With the variance in his role in his second season, Houstan noted the growth he felt he had made.
"The more you play, the more you get comfortable the better you get," Houstan said. "It definitely helped me in my second year being more confident out there, knowing the game more knowing what to expect. game definitely started to slow down a little bit for me." Houstan started 13 games and appeared in 59, averaging 4.3 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. He shot 38.8 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from beyond the 3-point line. Houstan had nine games where he made at least three 3-pointers, including one in which he made seven and scored a career-high 25 points in Orlando's 117-110 overtime win over the Atlanta Hawks.
While it's too early to tell if Houstan will carve out a consistent role next season, it's not far-fetched to believe his future will depend largely on what the team decides to do this offseason.
