The Magic had a great draft and I'm very excited about next season.
Not only that, but they will have the MLE, DPE, VPE, a 1.3 million dollar TPE and the vets minimum to use on FAs.
Gabe, Devos and Doc have a good chance to turn the Magic into a contender this year if they find the right pieces in free agency and/or trades. They already started out right in the draft. Gaines is going to contribute right away. ZaZa may not make the team, but his future with the club is bright. He is only 18 and most have compared him to a young Divac. Bogans was a good pick just because the Magic got him for money. He will challenge Sasser for a roster spot. All 3, Gaines Bogans and ZaZa were steals because Gaines was a top 10 player in the draft, but landed at 15, ZaZa was a projected top 20 pick, but landed at 42 for the Magic and Bogans was landed for just 250 thousand dollars. Very good draft indeed.
Kasun is a overseas project for the Magic that could make the team this year. I hear he has massive potential and since he is only 19, he still has a lot of time to grow as a player. You may see him on the team this year or next year with ZaZa.
Can't wait for the season to start. If everything falls into place and the Magic stay injury free for most of the season, they will have a great shot at the division title and at least making it to the ECFs. Maybe even the NBA finals.
