The ping pong balls fell in the Magic’s favor Tuesday evening.
Their reward for a 22-60 finish and last place in the Eastern Conference was a 14% chance to pick No. 1. Orlando cashed in on those odds and now has the opportunity to select its choice of the top prospects at the 2022 NBA Draft on June 23.
There is a clear favorite to come off the board with the top overall pick: Auburn forward Jabari Smith.
