Arroyo came to the Magic on February 15 as part of the package that included Darko Milicic in exchange for Kelvin Cato and a future protected first round draft pick. Within hours of the trade announcement, fans were already scrambling to be the first to purchase their Arroyo Magic jerseys and tickets to see Carlos in action. From a playing perspective, Arroyo hasn't disappointed his new team or new fan base. The fifth-year point guard has averaged 12.3 points per game, including a season-high 21 points against Phoenix on March 3.

On Thursday, March 16, Carlos sat down and chatted on orlandomagic.com about his new home in Orlando and other questions from his large fan base. Check out what Carlos had to say.

Blake Levison: Hey Carlos I was wondering what is your thoughts on the new found crowd the magic is attracting due to your nationality?

Carlos Arroyo: Hopefully it's very good. It's great that the Hispanic community is supporting the team. It's a great boost of energy for the team.
