Stiemsma signed a one-year, $1.02 million contract with the Magic on Thursday.

Analysis:

The 6-foot-11 Stiemsma has bounced around the league throughout his career, logging 203 appearances with the Celtics, Timberwolves, Pelicans, and Raptors across the last four seasons. He'll aim to carve out a bench role with his new organization, but isn't expected to do much more than serve as a rim protector when he sees the floor. Stiemsma will compete with Jason Smith, Dewayne Dedmon, and Andrew Nicholson for the top backup job behind Nikola Vucevic.
