The Orlando Magic have been long overdue for a lucky bounce, and they finally get one.
The Magic, who along with the Rockets, Pistons and Thunder had the top odds of getting the first overall pick entering the draft lottery with a 14-percent chance, landed the top pick in the 2022 draft after winning the lottery.
Despite being in rebuilding mode for the better part of the last decade, it is perhaps the first time the Magic and their fans have come out of the lottery feeling satisfied with their draft positioning since the team won the top overall pick in 1993 in stunning fashion.
