Alexander signed a training camp contract with the Magic on Wednesday, Brian K. Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

A top recruit coming out of high school in 2014, Alexander endured a difficult freshman season at Kansas and ultimately went undrafted upon turning pro last spring. Given his pedigree, the 20-year-old still drew interest from several clubs as an undrafted free agent, and ultimately latched on with the Trail Blazers, who kept him on the roster all season. Still, the raw Alexander rarely saw the floor, appearing in only eight games and averaging 1.3 points and 0.8 rebounds in 4.5 minutes per contest. He wasn't much better in summer league for Portland, who finally gave up on the 6-foot-9 forward in July in order to clear a roster spot for Festus Ezeli. Alexander will get an opportunity to prove he's an NBA-caliber player while auditioning for a roster spot in Orlando, but it's just as likely that he'll get cut and will have to try to forge his career elsewhere.
