Comment on Magic position themselves for better look at prospects at NBA draft combine

Magic position themselves for better look at prospects at NBA draft combine

For the Orlando Magic, the next few days will be a significant step in a month-long process that’ll culminate with the June 23 NBA draft. The NBA draft combine, which takes place Wednesday through Friday at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, offers the Magic their most comprehensive look, up to this point, at the prospects they’re considering selecting in the June 23 draft. The combine is more than simply physical measurements, medicals, on-court drills and scrimmages — although that information is helpful. During the season, teams are allowed to scout prospects but aren’t allowed to contact them. Like most teams that didn’t already start hosting pre-draft workouts, the combine will be the Magic’s first opportunity to interview and have one-on-one interactions with prospects. It offers them a chance to get to know the prospect as more than just a basketball player. This can go a long way in determining who gets invited for a workout at the team’s facility or who ends up higher on a team’s draft board. Teams are allowed to interview a maximum of 20 players at the combine, while each player is allowed to interview with a maximum of 13 teams.
