<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Adonal Foyle was signed this summer to be the Orlando Magic's backup center, but the season-ending injury to forward/center Tony Battie certainly has raised his level of importance on the roster. Foyle started alongside center Dwight Howard on Wednesday, and it probably won't be the last time. Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy wants to see a variety of lineups during the exhibition schedule. Foyle is on the team for his defense, and his offense might become a nice bonus. In the first half, he hit all four of his shots and had 10 points and five rebounds. Foyle also started the game guarding the Charlotte Bobcats' Emeka Okafor, allowing Howard more freedom to roam on . "With that lineup, I'd expect our interior defense to be very good," Van Gundy said. "And we should be a great rebounding team with those two."</div></p> Source: Orlando Sentinel</p> These two are notorious for fumbling a pass and turning the ball over off the initial post entry pass. This could get ugly for Orlando with both of them on the floor at the same time. Jameer will have to bite his lip everytime he passes it down low.</p>
The less that Shard/Turkoglu/Ariza are playing out of position at PF the better. So I don't mind this that much. So far it seems like Dwight is doing a little better job at least.</p>
I'm impressed with the progress D12 is making from the charity stripe. All that offseason boxing is paying dividends.</p>
