Darrell Armstrong

Darrell Armstrong was a late bloomer and after going undrafted in 1991, he was signed by the Orlando Magic in 1994. Even with the Magic, he was just a role player till 1998 when he started to get more playing time. With an increased workload, Armstrong won Most Improved and 6th Man of the Year Awards in the same year (1998-99) and was rewarded with a starting role the following season.

As a starter from 1999-2002, Armstrong delivered All-Star level numbers. Over those 3 seasons, he averaged 14.8 Points, 6.2 Assists, and 1.9 Steals, with the high point being 15.9 Points, 7 Assists, 4.6 Rebounds and 1.8 Steals in 2000/01. He even managed to get some MVP votes during those years, finishing 15th in 1999 and 13th in 2000. To go along with his already solid offensive game, Armstrong was also a very capable defender and finished in the top 10 in steals 4 times.

Despite strong performances with the Magic, he never had any playoff success with the team. It was only when he joined the Mavs in 2004 that he got out of the first round. They reached the NBA Finals in 2006, only to lose to the Heat.
