It’s now been over two weeks since the Orlando Magic selected a trio of rookies in June’s NBA Draft, headlined by the sixth overall pick - Mohamed Bamba. Bamba, Jonathan Isaac (Orlando's sixth overall selection last year), and recently re-signed forward Aaron Gordon now represent a clear foundation in which this franchise can be built around.
Orlando President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman, alongside General Manager John Hammond, also selected two prospects in the second round of the draft this year - Melvin Frazier Jr. (35th overall) and Justin Jackson (43rd overall, acquired in a trade/swap with the Denver Nuggets, along with a 2019 second round pick).
