The lottery is over with, the Orlando Magic are officially ‘on the clock’, and it’s time for the scouting department to get to work. Weltman acknowledged to reporters after the lottery was complete Tuesday that controlling the top of the draft will come with sets of circumstances his group has not been accustomed to in previous draft processes, such as more access to players’ medical information, more prospects willing to visit/workout with the team, and potentially even phone calls from other organizations.īut one thing is for sure.

Our whole basketball operations staff is out here in Chicago grinding, and the work begins immediately.” Tonight we caught one, and we are just going to enjoy it. And the way this system is set-up, you need breaks to be able to build. Honestly, we haven’t caught a whole lot of breaks over the last couple of years. “We’re going to enjoy it tonight, we’re going to have a big exhale. “Just excitement, just happiness,” Magic President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman told reporters when asked to describe his initial reaction to Tuesday’s lottery results. The Magic will be picking first overall for the fourth-time in franchise history, and the first time since 2004 (Dwight Howard). The last time the Magic improved post-Lottery is when they jumped ten spots in ‘93. Orlando had either held or dropped from their pre-lottery positions in their last fourteen opportunities (1998-2021). The NBA Draft Lottery was held in Chicago Tuesday night - prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals - and the Magic came away with the top overall selection. But for the first time in a long-time, the ping pong balls bounced Orlando’s way. Well, they didn’t technically do anything. The Orlando Magic did something Tuesday night that the franchise hadn’t succeeded in accomplishing since 1993.
