The Magic expect to bring at least seven non-guarantee free agents to camp, including point guard John Crotty, a 10-year NBA veteran.

The most curious addition might be Ousmane Cisse, a 6-foot-8, 250-pound shot-blocking power forward from Mali, Africa. He was the Denver Nuggets' second-round pick in 2001 out of Montgomery (Ala.) St. Jude. Cisse has played in Russia and with the USBL's Brevard Blue Ducks. He played on the Magic's summer-league team, blocking seven shots in his first two games.

Other camp invitees are guards Shammond Williams, Derrick Dial and Rick Apodaca and forwards Britton Johnsen and Alton Ford. The Magic are looking for another point guard.

Williams averaged 8.0 points per game for Denver last season. Crotty, 34, also played with the Nuggets, averaging 4.0 points and 2.1 assists in 12 games.
