ORLANDO, Fla. — Now that the NBA has crowned a new champion, talk in the league turns to the upcoming season, and the Orlando Magic are throwing an NBA Draft party so fans can come celebrate the new additions to the team with them.

The draft party starts at 6:30 p.m. June 22 at the Amway Center. It is free and open to the public but does require a ticket to attend. Tickets can be downloaded on the Magic’s website.

Draft coverage within the arena begins at 7 p.m., and the draft itself starts at 8 p.m. The Magic will show the draft live on the big video board at the arena.

The Magic currently have two first-round picks in this year’s draft, Nos. 6 and 11. Orlando also holds the No. 36 pick, which is early in the second round and where quality picks often can still be found.

As the Magic look to improve their team, they have a variety of options. They could make selections with all their picks, or they might not make any picks at all. Other options include, for example, they could trade one or more of the picks to move up or down in the draft, or acquire a player from another team. They even could make a deal involving one or more of the picks and a player or trade this year’s picks completely for future picks.

Since President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman and General Manager John Hammond were hired in May 2017, they have traded the team’s second-round pick or made a selection in the second round and traded the rights to that player multiple times. Orlando already has a crowded roster, so it would not be surprising if they traded the No. 36 pick.

Of course, the big news will be the moves the Magic make on draft night. But the draft party also will give fans the opportunity to meet Stuff the Magic Mascot, take part in special activities like a $50,000 four-shot contest, enjoy food and drink specials and take advantage of discounts at the Magic team shop.
