NEW YORK – Big winners of the NBA Draft Lottery three times before, the Orlando Magic’s luck seemingly has run out at the fickle event that sets the order for the June NBA Draft.
A Magic franchise that won the top pick in the draft lottery in 1992, ’93 and 2004 failed to move up on Tuesday and will select fifth in the June 25th NBA Draft. It was the Magic’s third straight year in the lottery and their third consecutive swing and miss at nabbing the top prize.
The Timberwolves won the draft lottery and will pick first, while the Lakers, Sixers and Knicks round out the top four of the draft order ahead of the Magic.
