ORLANDO, FLORIDA - Jacque Vaughn, a backup point guard during his five-year NBA career, signed Wednesday with the Orlando Magic. Vaughn played with the Atlanta Hawks last season. <br>
<br>
The terms of the deal were not disclosed. <br>
<br>
Vaughn started 16 games and appeared in all 82 games in the 2001-2002 season. He joins Hanno Mottola as the only players to achieve that feat for the Atlanta Hawks last year. <br>
<br>
Vaughn averaged 6.6 points, 4.3 assists and shot 47 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from 3-point range. He also led or tied the Hawks in assists 27 times and in scoring twice. <br>
<br>
Vaughn is expected to compete for the Magic's starting point guard role. That would possibly allow last year's starter, Darrell Armstrong, to move to a backup role. <br>
<br>
Vaughn has appeared in 200 consecutive NBA games, the eighth-longest active streak in the league.
