The Orlando Magic is making a move with its Las Vegas Summer League roster.

According to Cody Taylor from USA Today's Rookie Wire, Texas A&M Aggies point guard Dexter Dennis will be on the Magic's roster for Las Vegas Summer League.

Per his agency, Dennis had pre-draft workouts with the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Orlando, San Antonio Spurs and Washington Wizards.

Last season for the Aggies, Dennis averaged 9.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and a shade over one assist, bringing energy to the locker room and serving as a floor general.

Dennis' experience came in handy for the Aggies, as he maintained poise better than anybody during some of the Aggies' bigger games against top-ranked Alabama or highly-touted Tennessee.

And coach Buzz Williams couldn't have been more thankful for the guard during his lone season.

"Thank you for [Dexter's] decision nine months ago to come here," Williams prayed aloud to his team following Texas A&M's loss to Penn State. "Thank you for the impact he's had on our program ... he's changed our team."

Dennis earned the respect of his teammates throughout the year, and became a go-to guy for the Aggies on offense and defense, which will bode well for the guard as he looks to break into the NBA. 

He'll hope to impress in Las Vegas in hopes of catching on with the Magic or another team for training camp in late September.
