Power forward David Vaughn III started the trend in 1995, lasting two seasons with the franchise after he was selected with the No. 25 pick.
On this date in 2005, the Magic selected Fran Vázquez with the No. 11 overall pick. Vázquez never played a minute in the NBA, with his girlfriend and agent reportedly playing a big role in convincing him to stay in Spain rather than move to the United States.
Orlando Magic co-GMs Otis Smith and Dave Twardzik originally planned to pair the 6-foot-10 Vázquez with center Dwight Howard. Twardzik scouted Vázquez in Spain and was later blamed for the selection.
