Vaughn, now 21 years of age, is a 6-6 shooting guard who hails from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he earned McDonald's All-American honors at Robbinsdale Cooper High School (19.9 points and 4.9 assists per game in 2013–14).
After playing just one season at UNLV, where he was named Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year for his outstanding play (17.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 23 games), Vaughn was selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. Vaughn has also spent some time with teams in the G-League, including the Westchester Knicks and Canton Charge.
Vaughn was traded from the Bucks to the Brooklyn Nets on February 5, 2018. Just three days later, the Nets traded him to the New Orleans Pelicans, who then waived him on February 10, 2018.
In his 134 career games played in the NBA (eight starts), Vaughn has racked up averages of 3.1 points on 33.7 percent shooting from the field (31.2 from beyond the arc) and 1.2 rebounds.
The Magic, now the 4th-ranked team in the Southeast Division standings with a 18-39 overall record, will be back in action on Thursday night, as they're scheduled to host the New York Knicks inside the Amway Center. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. EST with Fox Sports Florida and the MSG Network having live broadcast coverage. Until then, have a go at some of Vaughn's highlights.
