Is 'The Zinger' a draft ringer for Magic?

Latvian power forward Kristaps Porzingis — easy for no one to say — should be available for the Magic to draft at No. 5 next month.

They call him "The Zinger."

Appropriately enough, it's the 10th anniversary of the Magic's ill-fated draft of 2005.

If you want to tweak Orlando fans, just mention the name of another international man of mystery: Fran Vazquez.

Talk about delivering a zinger.

A year after lottery luck produced Dwight Howard, the Magic surprisingly picked Vazquez at No. 11. The Spaniard has yet to play a second for them.
