They retained their major free agents and decided to run it back with hopes of the young core progressing alongside the veterans with valuable playoff experience furthering their development.
The Magic entered draft night with two selections many fans expected would be part of this goal too. They would add something to the team with the prospect of contributing to the team quickly.
