The Magic had one first-round pick and one second-round pick entering the draft.[3][4] For the first time in franchise history, the Magic worked on the NBA draft for two straight days instead of one day like it had been since the franchise first existed back in 1989. On the first night of the draft, the Magic would select the German-Brazilian small forward Tristan da Silva from the University of Colorado. Then, on the second day of the draft, Orlando would select shooting guard Antonio Reeves from the University of Kentucky.
