The Orlando Magic, the first pick in the NBA draft, took a step forward in their pre-draft ratings during the NBA draft unification in mid-May in Chicago.
Now the Magic, who also have the 32nd and 35th picks in the second round, have prospects to practice in Orlando ahead of the June 23 draft.
The month-long process gives Orlando the best possible outlook after being allowed to scout but not contact players during the season.
Here is a list of prospects the Magic has interviewed at the plant, invited to pre-draft practice, or expected to host in practice.
The list of players was compiled from interviews during the draft, reports from the Orlando Sentinel, and various media reports. This list, which is not complete, will be updated as more information is collected:

Note. Teams are allowed to interview no more than 20 players at a pool, and each player can interview no more than 13 teams, according to a league spokesperson. The league decides which team will speak to the players. Just because a team didn’t interview a potential client at the time of the merger doesn’t mean they aren’t interested or won’t pick a player.

Note: The fact that a player trains with a team does not mean that he is a draft target. Just because a team isn’t drafting prospects doesn’t mean they won’t draft them either. Six pre-draft prospects are allowed on the court at the same time and are not allowed on the court with NBA players. Some players are reaching out to NBA teams for feedback ahead of the June 1 deadline. College players had to decide whether they would stay in the draft or opt out and retain all remaining college rights.
