In his first season with the Orlando Magic, second round Draft pick Travis Diener didn't see a lot of court time. Being a part of a backcourt that already included Jameer Nelson, Carlos Arroyo and Keyon Dooling meant that there weren't going to be a lot of available minutes for the Magic rookie.

The lack of playing time in his first NBA season didn't discourage the former Marquette standout but rather motivate Diener to take his game to the next level. As the veteran on Orlando's summer league team in July, Diener was very impressive. And in preseason action in October, Diener saw plenty of minutes and put up 23, 14 and 10 point performances.

This season, the Magic are still very guard heavy, but Diener will be called upon to deliver when needed. His deadly outside shooting ability (9-of-18 from three-point range during the preseason), improved ball-handling and better adaption to the NBA game should be a bonus for Orlando throughout the season.

On Thursday, Nov. 9, before Orlando packs up for a three-game road trip, Travis will take a break to chat with fans on OrlandoMagic.com. Submit your questions for Travis now and then check back on Thursday at 3:00PM for the live chat session with Travis Diener.
