Orlando Magic Player Evaluations: Dewayne Dedmon
By Zach Palmer
Final Grade
DEWAYNE DEDMON. B. <p>It was a tad disappointing to see Dedmon get knocked out of the rotation for so long. That may be on Scott Skiles. But later in the year when Dedmon proved just how valuable he was, Skiles found minutes for him anyways.</p><div class=. C. Orlando Magic
Dedmon made some nice improvements this year, particularly his shooting. Dedmon has always been a plus defender and rebounder but his discipline and fundamentals are still lacking. We saw some improvement from a fundamentals standpoint on defense, and we do have to recognize Dedmon is still a very raw basketball player.
With all that said, this season was a fine season for Dewayne Dedmon. He was able to reclaim his role on the team late in the year and proved to the Magic, and possibly other NBA teams, what he is going to bring to a team night in and night out.
