The Orlando Magic have had a lot of players cycle through their gym and they have done their homework and probably even some interviews — virtual or otherwise — with plenty more prospects. There is a lot of information to sort through.

Still, somehow, reports and rumors about who the Magic are interviewing and thinking about taking with their two top-10 picks can still surprise.

The report from Sam Vecenie of The Athletic that the Magic were considering taking Turkey center Alperen Sengun with the eighth pick as a “potential replacement for Nikola Vucevic” was a bit surprising.
