Goga Bitadze's contract with the Orlando Magic earns a C+ CVI — roughly what you'd expect for this level of production and salary. Goga's current production grades out in the middle of the pack among NBA centers. His $8.3M average annual value ranks as role player money for the center market. The production lines up closely with the price tag, which is essentially paying fair market value. At 26, Goga is entering his prime window — historically when centers post their best numbers. The 2-year deal keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
