ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic has exercised its option on forward-guard Mike Miller, meaning he's signed through the 2003-2004 season.

Miller is scheduled to make about $2.7 million next season and $3.4 million the following season.

The Magic had until Oct. 31 to make a decision, but general manager John Gabriel says "it wasn't necessary to wait that long."

Last season, Miller played in 63 games for Orlando. He averaged 15.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He also made over 38 percent of his 3-point tries.

Miller played his college basketball at Florida.

He was Rookie of the Year in 2001 and was the lone unanimous selection to the All-Rookie Team.

The Magic also hired Mark Hughes as an assistant coach and extended the contracts of assistants Dave Wohl, Johnny Davis and Paul Pressey.

Hughes has been head coach of the CBA's Grand Rapids Hoops for six seasons.
