Contract Value Index (CVI)
Colin Castleton's one-year, $2.2M deal with the Orlando Magic earns a C- CVI, reflecting a modest investment in an unproven center with limited upside. The Magic are essentially buying a lottery ticket on the former Florida big man, who showed flashes of rim protection and rebounding in limited NBA action but remains a rotational player at best. At $2.2M annually, Orlando isn't breaking the bank on Castleton, but they're also not getting exceptional value given his ceiling appears capped as a backup center who can provide energy off the bench. The short-term nature of this contract makes sense for both sides — the Magic maintain flexibility while Castleton gets another chance to prove he belongs in the league. However, for a franchise still building toward contention, this represents more of a depth move than a meaningful step forward, and the money could arguably have been better allocated toward a more established veteran presence in the frontcourt.
