ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The Orlando Magic signed first-round draft pick Ryan Humphrey on Friday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed but according to the rookie scale of the collective bargaining agreement, the 19th overall pick would get a 3-year contract worth about $2.85 million.

The Magic acquired the 6-foot-8 forward and a second-round pick in a draft-day trade with the Utah Jazz for the rights to No. 18 pick Curtis Borchardt.

Humphrey led Notre Dame with averages of 18.9 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.8 blocks last season. An All-Big East selection, Humphrey set a school record with 87 blocked shots.

After playing two seasons at Oklahoma, Humphrey averaged 16.6 points and 10 rebounds in two seasons with the Fighting Irish.
