Much ofthe attention was focused on the Magic's top draft pick, 7'1", 303 pounds Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq was one ofthe big reasons Orlando moved camp, avoiding distractions. The former LSU star's only weakness seemed tobeatthe free-throw line. He shot 52.8 percent in his final year at LSU. The Magic were without forward Brian Williams throughout camp. Williams suffered a minor chip fracture in his left big toe, adding to his bizarre fainting spells. One of the key figures in the Magic's plans, forward Dennis Scott, held up extremely well during camp. The GeorgiaTech graduate went through two surgeries and rehabilitationforaleginjury. Scott looked more confident as camp progressed and was hitting 'tfaree- (pointers from court. The Magic were delighted with the play of rookie free agent Daimon Sweet. If enough roster spots are opened, he should make the team. .Sweet, a former Notre Dame player, is expected to battle for the shooting guard position. Terry Catledge is much stronger as he devoted more time to lifting weights in the off-season. The Cat-Man averaged 14.8 points and 7 rebounds per game last sea- >ve overall O r - lando is overstocked with guards— Nick Anderson, -An- t h o n y Bowie, Lester Conner, Chris Corchiani, Litterial Green, Byron I r v i n , Scott Skiles, and Sweet. With question marks concerning Williams, O'Neal, Jeff Turner, Catledge, and Greg Kite are the only big men. Look for i roster spot to be opened up by the release of several players, inchid ing a few guards. The Magic were not with outkjuriesduringthecamp. Guards Green and Corchiani both receivec stitches as they collided during Sunday's scrimmage. Green received four stitches (upper Sip) anc Corchiani received six stitche: (right eyelid). Nick Anderson wil be out for another week after snf fering a sprained right ankle during Tuesday's scrimmage. ■ The Orlando Magic were grateful for the hospitality providec by Stetson and Stetson was prow to serve as host. CoachMattGuoka: was quoted as saying, "I don't sec any reason why we wouldn't come back next year." From all of the positive feedback that has resulted don't be surprised to see Shaq and See Magic page 4 Stewart Lecture drawing close—plans finalized Stetson students, faculty and staff have picked up their tickets, the schedule is firming up and the university is counting the days and items to be completed until the arrival of former President Jimmy Carter.
