ORLANDO – Coming out of Tuesday’s Draft Lottery with the No. 11 pick, the Orlando Magic are charged with preparing for the June 23 NBA Draft while simultaneously finding the next head coach to lead the team.
On the positive side, it’s a double-duty process that the Magic have become intently familiar with over the past four years.
For a third time since May of 2012, GM Rob Hennigan is juggling the responsibility of hiring a coach and preparing the franchise for the NBA Draft. The Magic are in this position after Scott Skiles stunned the organization last week with his abrupt resignation as head coach following just one season along the sidelines in Orlando.
