Preseason Stats: 9.2 points; 42% FG

The Mario Hezonja‘s legend was written long before he even stepped on an official NBA basketball court as a member of the Orlando Magic. From Youtube highlights to amazing quotes, Hezonja was already an NBA Twitter favorite. His short time in the NBA (preseason) has only exemplified that feeling.

Hezonja is averaging nine points in five preseason games. He isn’t going to play a huge role for the Magic this season, but could have a bright future in the organization going forward.

The future is bright for Hezonja. He just needs to find the right situation, the right team and the right coach. I’m sure he can find all of those things with the Magic.

If nothing else, at least we’ll get at least a handful of great highlights from Hezonja this season.
