Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has become one of the best role players in the NBA.

Caldwell-Pope finished this past year with averages of 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 46.0% from the field and 40.6% from the three-point range in 76 games for the Denver Nuggets.

Therefore, he was one of the most intriguing free agents on the market.

On Sunday evening, Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today reported that Caldwell-Pope is signing a deal with the Orlando Magic.

Via Zillgitt: "Kentavious Caldwell-Pope leaving the Denver Nuggets and headed to the Orlando Magic on a three-year deal, I’m told."
