Retrospective: The Top-10 Power Forwards in Orlando Magic History
6. Pat Garrity
Pat Garrity came in the underwhelming basket that came from Phoenix when Anfernee Hardaway was dealt.
Garrity may not have been quite on the level of a couple other stretch 4s to play in Orlando, but he was one of the first to play that role for the Magic. He averaged 10.9 points per game in 163 games in Orlando and his best season came in 2002 when he posted 11.1 points, grabbed 4.2 rebounds and knocked down 2.1 threes per game at a 42.7 percent clip.
Garrity shot 39.8 percent from three during his 10-year career, all but the first season of which was played in Orlando. Garrity attempted 54 percent of his field goals from 3-point range in the 2002-03 season and he finished sixth in made threes that season.
Garrity came into the NBA as a four-year player from Notre Dame and was taken 19th overall in the 1998 draft. The Magic would get all the production Garrity had to offer, which was basically that of being a great stretch-4 in an era of which there were not quite as many of that mold.
