ORLANDO -- If you’ve checked your social timeline recently, chances are you’ve seen someone pouring ice water over their head.

While some social phenomena exist without purpose, the “Ice Bucket Challenge” often involves daring a select group of people to dump a bucket of ice water over their heads in the next 24 hours, or donate money – usually $100 – towards battling ALS.

The Orlando Magic have joined in on the social craze led by STUFF the Magic Mascot, who was among the pioneers of the challenge, completing it over two months ago with an extreme nine tubs of pure ice water.

More recently, Maurice Harkless showed off his stuff and challenged a few teammates along the way.

What members of the Magic will be next? Stay tuned and find out.

Orlando, Fla. – The Orlando Magic have signed rookie guard Devyn Marble, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today.  Per team policy, terms of the deal are not disclosed.  The draft rights to Marble (56th overall pick), along with Evan Fournier, were acquired from Denver in exchange for Arron Afflalo on June 26.

Marble (#11, 6’6”, 200, 9/21/92) played in 136 career games during four years at the University of Iowa, averaging 12.5 ppg., 3.4 rpg., 2.9 apg. and 1.29 stlpg. in 27.6 minpg.  He ranks second on the school’s all-time games played list with 136.  Marble also ranks in Hawkeyes’ history in scoring (fifth, 1,694 points), assists (sixth, 397) and steals (seventh, 176).

As a senior (2013-14), Marble played and started in 33 games, averaging 17.0 ppg., 3.6 apg., 3.2 rpg. and 1.82 stlpg. in 30.2 minpg.  He was named First Team All-Big Ten after leading the team in scoring and ranked second in assists.  Marble scored in double figures 27 times.

During his junior campaign (2012-13), Marble played and started in 37 games, averaging 15.0 ppg., 4.0 rpg., 3.0 apg. and 1.14 stlpg. in 30.5 minpg.  He led the Hawkeyes in scoring and assists, and was named Third Team All-Big Ten.

Marble is the son of Roy Marble, a former NBA player and the all-time leading scorer in Iowa history.

OrlandoMagic.com’s Josh Cohen offers his rankings on a range of topics on the Magic and the rest of the NBA.

Devyn Marble’s dad, Roy, played in the NBA and CBA from 1989-1995 and starred at the University of Iowa years before his son did. The two are the only father-son duo to each record over 1,000 points in Big Ten history. While this obviously doesn’t necessarily suggest Devyn will ultimately find success in the NBA, it does signify that he comes from a rich basketball family and achievement on the hardwood is supremely important to the Marble name.
