NSU's Kyle O'Quinn to Orlando Magic: 2nd Round, Pick 49

ORLANDO, Florida - Kyle O'Quinn isn't necessarily a household name, unless you're a fan of Missouri or Norfolk State basketball.

O'Quinn played a major role in Norfolk State's upset of the No. 2 Missouri Tigers this past March, and that tournament performance has garnered him some well-deserved interest.

O'Quinn is the type of player who can make an immediate impact coming off the bench with his above-average rebounding skills and his physical presence in the paint.

In the past two seasons at Norfolk State, O'Quinn has combined averages of 16.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game.  O'Quinn isn't going to have that kind of impact immediately against NBA talent, but there's no doubt that with time and the right coaching, he'll be able to mature into that kind of a player.
