Additionally, the sophomore Afflalo also brought a pleasant surprise to Rick Carlisle, as his defense and three-point shot enhanced the Pacers' wing play. If it weren't for his rather low profile status, Rick Carlisle might even consider moving him up to the small forward position.
Su Wan knew that in the future, Afflalo would become a core player for the Magic during their tanking years, peaking at an average of 18.2 points per game—a shooter with more ability than fame from mid to long range.
Over his entire career, his three-point shooting percentage was above 38%, and his field goal percentage was also over 45%.
His ceiling should be that of a top-tier "3&D player."
But the kid was lucky, picked by the tanking Magic Team, eventually becoming one of their offensive cores. His leadership did not disappoint the Magic, as during those years they continuously secured high draft picks. Afflalo himself racked up satisfying stats and secured a pleasing contract.
