The Orlando Magic are now Eastern Conference threats after ripping off 47 wins a year ago to plant themselves into the playoffs where they lost in seven games at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers but still left the postseason encouraged about the future.
Orlando selected Tristan da Silva with the No.18 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, adding him to a fantastic young core that is already poised to keep improving and evolving. da Silva, the rookie out of Colorado, is a pro-ready prospect who can make an instant NBA impact.: The 6-foot-9 forward is long and will likely be more perimeter-oriented at the next level. As a shooter overall, da Silva is much more than a rhythm guy.
Adding da Silva to the Orlando Magic's young core is going to just build on an already exciting team to watch. With still some minutes to be had, it will be interesting to see how Orlando elects to deploy the Colorado product during his rookie season. The Orlando Magic open their season on Oct. 23 in Miami against the Heat. The Florida showdown promises to be a good one and might leave few opportunities for a first-year player to crack the rotation - though, the next contest rolls around on Oct. 25 where da Silva is a near lock to make his debut against the lowly Brooklyn Nets if he can't get into the lineup against the Heat.Rylan Stiles is a credentialed media member covering the Oklahoma City Thunder.
