ORLANDO, Fla. Andre Johnson Womens Jersey . -- Alex Martins full-time job is CEO of the Orlando Magic. But throughout the season, the 52-year-old has another role that comes into focus once the NBA calendar turns to July. Martins serves as the gatekeeper for the Orlando Summer League, the less-publicized and more exclusive summer locale for NBA teams to check out their newest draft picks and younger players trying to find a way into the league.We have a waiting list of teams right now that would love to get in, Martins told ESPN.com recently.The Magic executive didnt say this in boastful way. In fact, he went out of his way to say that he and the rest of his staff wanted to work alongside the NBA and the organizers of the Vegas Summer League to make sure they werent stepping on any toes. But Orlando has turned into the preferred destination for many around the league, away from the glitz and glamor of the Vegas Strip.How did this happen?Back in 2002, Martins and the Magic staff were looking to try something different. The Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat joined up with the Magic, and the Orlando Summer League was up and running.Vegas is very productive and the teams that go out there love it and enjoy it and they get benefit out of it, Martins said. But we wanted to create an environment that was really just all about basketball. In a basketball setting, not an arena-type setting. Where the media and scouts and team officials could access and watch and evaluate, but confined to that group. Over the years, what weve been told by the teams that participate here is that they really love that environment. They love the fact that its just all about basketball. And thats not speaking negatively about Vegas in any means -- this is just different.In Vegas, teams play in the Thomas & Mack Center and the Cox Pavilion, much larger venues, which serve as the home to the UNLV mens and womens basketball teams. In 2002, the Magic started the Orlando league in the RDV Sportsplex on the practice floor the Magic used. In 2010, the Magic moved the league to the new Amway Center, but maintained the cozy atmosphere by still using their practice floor in the new structure, not the arena floor itself.The biggest difference in atmosphere, besides the cities themselves, is that the Orlando Summer League is not open to the public. The only people who can gain access are team or league personnel, agents, scouts and media. The Vegas Summer League, and now the even smaller Utah Summer League, are both open to fans. The Orlando games are broadcast on NBA TV and streamed on ESPN3 but there are only a couple hundred people in attendance in the small gym.Detroit Pistons coach and head of basketball operations, Stan Van Gundy, loves the set up in Orlando. I like the environment for players, Van Gundy said. I like the environment that its not public so you dont have a lot of people coming in. I think they can concentrate on their game more. I like this as a city a lot more than Las Vegas, Utah would probably be the same, but a few less distractions. I think they just run a really, really well-organized league. You can just come here and get to work. Well have been here 12 days, and its 12 good work days with great organization and no distractions.Part of the charm of the Orlando league is in its quaintness. In Vegas, league personnel are spread out in hotels on the Vegas Strip. In Orlando, many players and coaches can walk back and forth to the arena from the hotels located nearby. Coaches and executives can come and go as they please without being hassled by fans.Since its inception in 2002, the Orlando league has grown to a nine-team venture (the Magic have a Blue Team and a White Team to even out the schedule to 10) and has developed a loyal following. Like Van Gundy, who coached the Magic from 2007-12, Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing sung the praises of the league. Ewing, who coached the Charlotte Hornets summer league entry, served on Van Gundys Magic staff.I enjoy coming to Orlando, Ewing said. Ive lived there, I think its great. I like the fact that this one, you get in, you get your work done, and then you leave.Martins says the Magic dont make any money off the league itself, but the exposure for both the organization and the Orlando area is important.Theres no financial benefit to us, Martins said. The way it works is every team has an entry fee, and we ask basically the teams that participate just to cover all the costs. We have everything. We feed the media, we feed all the personnel that are here. We have expenses associated with using the building, etc. So we just charge an entry fee so that we cover all that. The entry fee is around $10,000-15,000 depending on the year.While there has been some talk about expanding the league in the future, Martins says there hasnt been much talk about opening the league up to the public. The only exception came in 2003 when LeBron James played his first professional game as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers Summer League team. Aside from the sellout crowd at the old Amway Center, that game will always be remembered as the one in which former Utah alum Britton Johnsen, playing for the Magics summer league team, dunked on James.Theres always room for that special situation, Martins said. Like the year that LeBron came out and we took the game to the old Amway Arena. But beyond that, again, the beauty of this specific summer league is that it is all about basketball. Its about basketball personnel, both from the administrative side as well as the competitive side and the playing side. And thats what everybody loves about coming here. J.J.

SALT LAKE CITY -- A former Utah State football player who was dropped by the Atlanta Falcons in August over multiple sexual assault allegations was charged Thursday with rape, assault and kidnapping.The Cache County Attorneys Office filed charges against 22-year-old Torrey Green after spending several months re-reviewing allegations that multiple women made against Green during his time at Utah State.Green now faces four separate rape charges and charges of aggravated kidnapping and forcible sexual abuse over allegations dating from 2013 through this year.Green was arrested Thursday in California and will be extradited to Utah to face the charges, the county attorneys office said in a statement.He did not have a listed attorney and his spokesman Zack Teperman declined to comment Thursday. No number was listed for Green to reach him for comment.After the county attorneys office confirmed the investigation in August, Teperman said Green believed he would be found innocent.The county attorneys office said it was reviewing the matter this summer after The Salt Lake Tribune reported the allegations in July and that several of the investigations against Green had been closed. Green was not named in the Tribunes original story in July but gave the paper an interview where he denied the allegations, saying they had been blown out of proportion and that everyone makes mistakes.When news of the allegations broke in August, the Falcons dropped Green, a rookie free agent linebaccker. J.J. Watt Texans Jersey. Cache County District Attorney James Swink did not return a message Thursday seeking more details about the charges but said in a statement that his office investigated nine separate cases against Green.Utah State said this summer that it would look at how the school handled allegations in the Green case while it was undergoing a broader review of the way the university investigates sexual assault.Citing confidentiality rules, the school has declined to say when it first learned of allegations against Green, some of which were lodged by fellow students, or any specifics about how the allegations were investigated.In a statement in late August, the school said it generally found no victims were discouraged from reporting an assault or pursuing an investigation and no athletes received special treatment. The school said it would work to improve its reporting policies and communication with local police.The school also recently began posting ads around campus designed to inform students about what exactly constitutes consensual sex.Utah State spokesman Tim Vitale said Thursday that the school has cooperated with law enforcement and Utah State police worked with the other investigators.The Herald Journal in Logan first reported the charges Thursday.Green, who is from Rubidoux, California, graduated from Utah State this spring.
