Both the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons have been doing their best to rebuild through the draft. The Magic were awarded the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and added Duke F Paolo Banchero, who is expected to start Wednesday.
Orlando finished last in the Eastern Conference last season with just 22 wins. The 5th overall pick from 2021, G Jalen Suggs, is expected to have a larger role on this roster as well.
