Trevor Anthony Ariza (born June 30, 1985 in Miami, Florida) is a professional basketball player in the NBA for the Orlando Magic. After a college career at UCLA, Ariza was a second round draft choice (43rd overall) of the New York Knicks in the 2004 NBA Draft. On February 21, 2006, Ariza was traded to the Orlando Magic along with Penny Hardaway in exchange for Steve Francis.
Ariza attended Westchester High School in Los Angeles, where as a junior he along with teammate and fellow NBA player Hassan Adams led the Comets to California State Champions. Drafted by the Knicks at age 19, after spending just one year at UCLA, Ariza started his career coming off the bench as the youngest rookie in Knicks history.[1]
Ariza earned himself starting honors with the Knicks under Larry Brown, as the team attempted to implement a youth movement until 2005 draft pick David Lee replaced him.
His youngest brother died after falling out of a hotel window in Venezuela on the 30th floor.[2]
