Craig "Speedy" Claxton was so impressive during the NBA Finals that it made the Orlando Magic cringe.

The Magic had targeted Claxton in their search for a point guard long before the free-agency courting period started Tuesday. He is scheduled to visit today.

Claxton not only wasn't a secret after helping the San Antonio Spurs win the title, but his price might have gone up. "He played too good," Coach Doc Rivers joked.

It's Pick-a-Point-Guard Week for the Magic. Wednesday, they entertained Antonio Daniels, a six-year veteran who played with the Portland Trail Blazers last season.

Practically the entire Magic brass -- from General Manager John Gabriel to Rivers and his coaching staff -- was on hand to meet with Daniels, who has the size (6 feet 4) and defensive intensity Rivers is seeking. But like Claxton, he isn't known for his shooting accuracy.

Claxton, 25, isn't a big guard at 5-11, 165 pounds. But he's a tenacious waterbug, and it may be no coincidence that he resembles a younger Darrell Armstrong.

The Magic need another affordable option even if they sign Daniels, which looks likely. Armstrong, 35, long a Magic fan favorite, is a free agent and no longer a certainty to re-sign. Several teams are interested.
