ORLANDO, Fla. -- Just two weeks into his NBA career, Orlando Magic rookie center Stephen Zimmerman isnt quite sure how he will fit in with his new team.What the 19-year-old, who was taken by the Magic in the second round of last months draft, knows is he is willing to do whatever is required while sitting behind the veteran lineup of big men that now includes Nikola Vucevic and recent acquisitions Serge Ibaka and Bismack Biyombo. It will be a lot more watching and learning early on.I know that they have a lot of good big guys coming in and right now I basically have to play my role being the young guy and learn from the older guys and going out there every day in practice and getting better, said Zimmerman, who spent just one season at UNLV.Obviously me being a basketball player and a competitor I want to play as much as I can, but I know I have to wait my turn and whenever Coach decides to put me in and let me go I have to show what Ive got.Such is the existence of a second rounder where little is guaranteed but with some tenacity, luck and willingness to play your role you can become a valuable and inexpensive asset.The 6-foot-11 Zimmerman is one of many looking to beat the odds to become the next Draymond Green or Paul Millsap, a second-round gem.In addition to Zimmerman, potential impact second-round picks from this years group include Phoenix Suns point guard Tyler Ulis, Los Angeles Clippers forward Cheick Diallo and Detroit Pistons small forward Michael Gbinije.I think its going well, Zimmerman said following the second game during the Orlando NBA Summer League. A lot of people have been saying how big of a difference it is and obviously it is real physical and fast paced, but I dont think Im lacking anything so its been good.New York Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek, a second-round pick of the Phoenix Suns out of Iowa State in 1986, doesnt believe the perception of what a second-rounder can bring to an NBA team has changed much over the years.I think the second round has always been the same, thats a guy that has a chance to make the team, but has to show a team what kind of role you can play for them, said Hornacek, who enjoyed a 14-year NBA career as a shooting guard, primarily with the Utah Jazz and Suns.Its always an uphill battle for second-rounders, but there are a lot of great ones that have made it.But longtime Houston Rockets scout BJ Johnson believes the number of second-rounders who will make an impact will continue to increase in the current climate.They are usually upper classmen who are more mature and seasoned than their first-round counterparts who are most often drafted on potential more so than for their body of work.The first-round guys dont always hit right away, but they are talented but may have other issues, Johnson said. Usually the second-round guys are more mature, so if you do your homework you can get young good players. When they come in their focus is different and to me that is the biggest difference.Johnson said it also comes down to landing in the right situation. Green, for instance, was drafted by a team that uses a lot of motion and allows him to get the ball in a lot of different areas as a power forward. There were questions about if Green had the size to play a post position coming out of Michigan State in 2012.He is now an NBA All-Star and a critical part of the Warriors.Draymond could have gone somewhere else and wouldnt be Draymond, Johnson said. He could have gone somewhere where he is playing behind a slow team. What if Draymond had went to San Antonio? He wouldnt be shooting threes and running around. He fits that team.Then Draymond is one of those guys who have the ingredients to get better because he is tough and he plays both ends.Plus he is a senior and he has been through the wars so he is seasoned. A lot of those first round guys are 18 or 19 years old.

Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder admitted the referee had no choice in sending Kieran Brookes off as his side went down 22-16 to Newcastle at Franklins Gardens.Referee Andrew Jackson showed forward Brookes a red card on 38 minutes for a dangerous shoulder charge to Scott Lawsons head in a ruck.The home fans booed the official off at half-time, but there was no complaint from Brookes or his team-mates. Despite having 14 men, Northampton came from behind to lead 16-15 with five minutes to go but Niki Goneva scored an 80-metre interception try to condemn Saints to a third home Aviva Premiership defeat this season.Mallinder said: Ive looked at it a few times and what happened was that someone put their head into the ruck, they came in and caused that first offence, Kieran Brookes took exception to that and their players took exception to Kieran Brookes.What you cant do is retaliate. You cant strike anybody near the head and the referee had no option. If youre behind in the game or ahead in the game, you dont want anyone getting sent off - it puts your team under a lot of pressure.But I think the 14 men responded really, really well in that second half and we should have come away with the win.Brookes is likely to be banned for next weeks trip to Leicester, which follows team-mate Calum Cllarks three-week suspension on Wednesday.ddddddddddddNorthampton played better with 14 men after a lacklustre first-half display left them trailing 8-3 at the break.Mallinder said: It was a poor start, but I was pleased with the way we responded. We showed some pride in that second half and I suppose we should really have won the game.We were doing what we needed to, getting into their half, driving the lineout, but unfortunately the intercept really cost us.Victory sees Newcastle move up to seventh in the Premiership, two points behind Northampton, and director of rugby Dean Richards was delighted with the clubs third victory at the Gardens this century.He said: What a great win. And to be honest there were a couple of tries that went begging as well. It was an unbelievable start, and we had a try scratched off when it shouldnt have been.I havent looked at the sending off too closely, but if he has made contact with the head it is disappointing from Kierans point of view. In the second half we turned over a few balls, but we fought our way back and got the win that we wanted. Niki is a quality player, to step aside (Ben) Foden at the end for the try was sheer class.
