    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Much has been made of Magic rookie shooting guard J.J. Redick not playing yet this season. Second-round pick James Augustine is in the same predicament, forced to make the transition from college to the NBA solely in practice.

    Augustine, the 41st overall pick out of Illinois, says he's seeing signs of improving though he's not playing.

    "Just being on this team has helped me learn so much," Augustine said. "Few rookies play right away. My opportunity might not be this year, but when it does come, I'll be ready."

    The Magic have discussed sending the 6-foot-10, 235-pound Augustine to their NBA Developmental League team, the Anaheim (Calif.) Arsenal. The Magic did not take advantage of that option last season with guard Travis Diener when the team was located in Fort Myers.</div>
