Evaluating Arron Afflalo

Orlando Pinstriped Post — League analysts love to cite the fact that Arron Afflalo has increased his scoring average every year he's been in the league, a trend which the veteran continued in his first year with the Orlando Magic in 2012/13.

Curiously, Magic swingman Arron Afflalo rounds out Forbes' most recent list. "Shoots 30% on three-pointers and 44% overall, not enough for a scorer who averages three assists a game," reads the blurb on the UCLA pr...
