The Orlando Magic signed forward Channing Frye as a free agent in July of 2014 to provide outside shooting, but the big man struggled with his shot as he made just 39 percent of his attempts. Frye was also bad as a defender, which cut down his time on the floor. Frye enters 2015-16 with the plan to bounce back after struggling in his first season with the Magic. From Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel:

"But by the time the season ended, Frye had turned almost into an afterthought. He was such a liability on defense that interim coach James Borrego didn't play him in five of the Magic's final eight games. So when Frye returned to his offseason home in Portland, Ore., he resolved to never endure another season like that ever again. 'You're going to see a better version of me,' he pledged recently at Magic training camp. 'Last year was, for the lack of a better term, a little bit embarrassing just on all fronts. I think I have a lot to prove, and I'm out here to put the work in and do it.' The stakes are high this season for the lanky power forward. He is 32 years old now, making him the oldest player on the Magic roster, and he'll have to battle for playing time."

The Magic hope Frye can live up to the three years and $23.4 million remaining on his contract as his trade value is low around the NBA. Frye will likely begin the 2015-16 season as a backup at power forward.
