Had a chance to see him in person @ the Sixers last night in a meaningless preseason game. Got about 5 minutes of 4th quarter garbage time and my unofficial stats had him with one basket on a contested drive, one defensive rebound, one steal and a turnover created with a good closeout. Looked surprisingly small out there but was able to use his length and quickness to good effect and seemed to try and honor his team's offensive plan while other scrubs were chucking for stats. Orlando are not a good team so hopefully his minutes will increase.

Melvin made his rookie debut last night in Magic loss. He played six minutes with just a PF in stats. I guess he has been injured because it did not appear he was on active roster last week but I haven't seen any reporting on it. Joys of being the rookie on the end of the bench.

Glad he is finally in the action.
