The Orlando Magic entered the NBA Draft with the Nos. 16 and 46 picks. They only ended up using one of those picks though.
With their first-round pick, they selected Auburn Tigers forward Chuma Okeke, who is ideal for today’s NBA. But he tore his ACL in late March and will miss most, if not all, of the 2020 season.
The Magic then traded the 46th pick (Talen Horton-Tucker) to the Los Angeles Lakers for cash and a future pick. President of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said Orlando opted to trade this pick because the roster is filled with young talent already, and the team did not need another rookie after Okeke.
