Five things to know about new Magic guard Desmond Bane

When introducing Desmond Bane this past week, Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman described him as 'a player you would design if you could start from scratch.' Weltman praised Bane for his impact on and off the court, adding that he 'checks every box' for Orlando. Advertisement And the Magic paid plenty in order to acquire Bane from the Grizzlies. Orlando sent Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony and multiple future first-round picks to Memphis. But there's more than meets the eye when it comes to Bane, who averaged 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals during his fifth season in the NBA. Here are five things to know about the newest member of the Magic. 1. Bane can drain 'em The 6-foot-5 guard became the sixth-fastest player in NBA history to reach 500 3-pointers made, according to How did he accomplish such a feat? Bane didn't waste time finding his footing from the beyond the arc once he entered the league. Advertisement He became the third qualified player in league history to shoot at least 43% from 3-point range in each of his first two seasons, joining Stephen Curry and Anthony Morrow. 2. More than a 3-point specialist Weltman has praised Bane's ability as a playmaker and shot creation beyond just his 3-point skillset. In 2023-24, Bane averaged 5.5 assists and dropped off only slightly this past season at 5.3 assists. For perspective, the Magic have only had one player the past two years combined to average above 5 assists on a nightly basis. Paolo Banchero averaged 5.4 two years ago but fell to 4.8 this past season. Advertisement Bane was one of 14 players in the league to average at least 19 points, at least 5 assists and at least 5 rebounds per game and appear in at least 50 contests during the 2024-25 regular season, according to 3. Made mark on Memphis Any player who spends five years with one organization is bound to leave his name in the record books, and that's true for Bane with the Grizzlies. Bane departs as the franchise's all-time leader in free throw percentage (88.3%), third in 3-pointers made (812) and fourth in 3-point field goal percentage (41%), according to Memphis. He holds the Grizzlies' single-season franchise records for 3-pointers made (228 in 2021-22) and free throw percentage (90.3% the same season). 4. Effort goes beyond the court Last October, Bane launched an AAU program in his home state of Indiana that's run by his non-profit organization. Advertisement The team — which is called 'Baneville Academy' — is for 7th- and 8th-grade boys, and it recently captured a Midwest Spring Circuit championship. Bane also wants to get to know Orlando on a local level. 'I want to get out in the community,' he said recently. 'I felt like I did a decent job of that in Memphis, and it changes your perspective on it. You've got to turn this place into home like I want to be able to go out to the grocery store and see people that I know and have genuine relationships with them. 'So they're going to get loyalty [and] honesty from me from the start,' he added about Magic fans. 5. He's a Horned Frog Before Bane was drafted 30th overall in 2020, Bane spent four years at TCU in the Big 12. Advertisement As a senior, he averaged 16.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists during 36 minutes in 32 games. That year, he was the only player to rank in the top 10 in the Big 12 in points, rebounds and assists. Bane finished his collegiate career ranked third in school history in scoring (1,784 points), third in field goals made (659), first in 3-pointers made (249) and fifth in 3-point percentage (43.3), according to the school.

Reds prospect Kyle Henley displays Atlanta speed as one of baseball's fastest players

DAYTONA BEACH — Growing up, Kyle Henley knew he was fast. But 'fast' came with a caveat. 'I'm from Alpharetta, Georgia,' Henley said. 'It's a little bit north of Atlanta. But my dad would always tell me I'm not Atlanta fast. I'm not like inner-city fast with those guys.' Advertisement Then, they found out he was. When Henley was 15, he attended a Perfect Game showcase and ran the quickest 60-yard dash in the nation for his age group at 6.47 seconds. A year later, he dropped it to 6.27. 'That was an eye-opener,' he said. 'That's when my career, it was like, 'OK, let's take this seriously.'' Now 20 and in his first full season with the Daytona Tortugas, Henley leads the Florida State League in stolen bases. The center fielder racked up 31 steals through his first 57 games. No other FSL prospect registered more than 26. 'I genuinely believe I'm one of the fastest players in all of baseball,' Henley said. Daytona Tortugas outfielder Kyle Henley (6) and teammates take the field against the St. Lucie Mets, Friday, June 13, 2025 at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. Chase Burns: Reds to call up top prospect to debut Tuesday vs. New York Yankees Advertisement That's not hyperbole or false confidence. Using Catapult tracking data, Henley would boast the best feet-per-second mark in the major leagues this season. His 31.6 would place him above speedsters like Bobby Witt Jr. (30.4), Byron Buxton (30.2) and Trea Turner (29.9). Henley also points out his top speed of 22.6 miles per hour would've led the NFL in 2024. 'But those boys got pads on,' he said. Cincinnati Reds drafted Kyle Henley out of high school in 2023 Daytona Tortugas outfielder Kyle Henley (6) heads for first against the St. Lucie Mets, Friday, June 13, 2025 at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. Also a football and basketball player as a kid, Henley committed to the Georgia Tech baseball program while at Denmark High School but skipped college altogether when the Cincinnati Reds selected him in the 14th round of the 2023 MLB Draft. Advertisement He started swiping bags immediately. After a four-game baptism in the Arizona Complex League in late 2023, he returned to that level to kick off 2024. In 53 games, he snatched 35 bases with a .280 batting average. He was caught only three times. Henley ended the campaign with a four-game stint with the Tortugas. In their regular-season finale, he drew a walk-off walk. To begin 2025, Henley came back to Daytona Beach and has hit .237 with 17 RBIs. He wants to improve his on-base percentage (.286) and cut down on his strikeouts. He's fanned 95 times, which also leads the league. But he's refined his stolen-base approach with the help of Tortugas manager Willie Harris. Advertisement 'I remember in spring training every day, let's say I'm in the dugout and there's a runner on second,' Henley said. '(Harris) would look at me and say, 'What's this pitcher doing? Is he one-look, two-look?' Every time, I would sit there and be blank because I wasn't paying attention. 'Now, it's ingrained in my head — what's he doing? Now, I'm ultra focused if I'm in the dugout, on the field, even just watching. I have to make sure I'm on top of that because that's the key of trying to be the best baserunner I can be.' Kyle Henley's process for stealing bases Daytona Tortugas outfielder Kyle Henley (6) grabs the ball after a short hop against the St. Lucie Mets, Friday, June 13, 2025 at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. Henley possesses a constant green light. Advertisement Daytona doesn't need to give him the steal sign. If he wants to go, he can. If he notices something he can exploit, he should. He strives for the same leadoff every time he gets on base. The Reds measured their ideal distances during spring training. If the pitcher tries a pickoff move and it's a close play, Henley may shorten his leadoff by a step. If he retreats back to the bag easily, he extends it an extra step. He looks for tendencies to perfect his timing. How fast is this pitcher's windup? Does he always take a deep breath right before lifting his leg? Does he glance down or twitch his hands a certain way? Those are Henley's indicators, telling him when to run. Advertisement Henley studies those details on film before games. If he hasn't seen a pitcher on video, he'll try to collect those mental notes from the dugout. 'I try to be smart about it because I have really good hitters behind me,' he said. 'So if I'm on and I have an advantage and I see something, I'm always going to try to take it.' When he knows he's stealing, he said the game slows down. Everything gets quiet. 'Then, it's like boom!' Henley said. 'It's a really cool feeling. I just take off.' While sprinting to second or third base, he looks in to see what's happening with the pitch — if it's in the dirt, if the catcher corrals it cleanly, if the hitter swings. Advertisement He slides feet-first at his coaches' request. They want him to stay away from the injury risk of a headfirst slide if possible. Henley's been thrown out only twice this year. And, well, he doesn't count one. 'The other time was a bad call,' he said with a smile, 'but stuff like that happens.' 80 stolen bases feels attainable for Kyle Henley in 2025 After games, Henley will occasionally pick up his phone and see a text from a family member or friend. Maybe it's, 'Hey, you're in the lead.' Or maybe it's, 'This person is catching up.' That keeps him aware of the league's stolen base standings. He tries not to seek out that info, though he'd be lying if he said he didn't keep track of his stats and set specific goals. This season, he aims to steal 70-75 bases. Advertisement Eighty or more feels attainable. 'At the end of the day, if I do what I'm supposed to do, the numbers will be there at the end of the season,' Henley said. 'I'm just going out there and playing my game, which is stealing bags.'
