At the beggining of 05-06 Orlando no longer had a clear #1 scoring option. Jameer Nelson, Dwight Howard, and Steve Francis all seemed to be the #1 option on different nights. 2 season is definetely enough time to get used to no longer being the top scoring option. I doubt that Francis will demand the ball alot in 06-07.

That makes it very clear that he isn't gonna be Stevie Franchise and try and score 20PPG. I fully expect him to make any necassary adjustments without any backlash.
