Three teams shared the best odds to land the top overall pick in the 2021 draft. Two of them got the first and second pick, repectively. The other dropped to fifth.
That, of course, being the Orlando Magic.
Even with the No. 5 pick and the No. 8 pick, acquired from the Chicago Bulls, it was a dissapointing result for a Magic team that did about all it could to pin their hopes on the lucky bounce of a ping pong ball. But, the ball took a bad bounce, as has been the case over the last decade.
