<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>No one grows up wanting to play basketball like Adonal Foyle. It just happens out of necessity. "It's an ugly game I play, doing things that you don't write home to your parents about," Foyle said. "It's in the trenches. It's pushing, shoving, elbowing. It's not the glorious side of the game, but all the good teams usually have someone to do it. I'll happily do it here." The Orlando Magic signed Foyle on the cheap this summer to play behind center Dwight Howard. He might be playing alongside him. The absence of Tony Battie, who likely is lost for the season, and the desire of Howard still to play some at power forward, has added to the importance of Foyle, whose love of the low-post, dirty-work duty has made him an increasingly attractive option for Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy. Howard/Foyle together was one of the lineups used during a scrimmage session this week at training camp, giving the Magic something to ponder. "I think Coach is going to try a lot of stuff. Against a big team, he'd be able to play us together. I can concentrate on the other team's big guy, and Dwight can have a field day against some forward. If he can play the four [power forward], it's clearly a mismatch in our favor."</div></p> Source: Orlando Sentinel</p> "I think people will be surprised with my offense, which is a good thing. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean I don't have it," he said."It's been percolating beneath the surface all these years. It's like a doctor who has to go to school for quite awhile before he can practice medicine."</p>
