The Orlando Magic, owners of the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, took a step forward in their pre-draft evaluations during the mid-May NBA draft combine in Chicago.
Now the Magic, who also have the Nos. 32 and 35 picks in the second round, are hosting prospects for workouts in Orlando ahead of the June 23 draft.
The month-long process gives Orlando its most comprehensive look at the prospects after being allowed to scout but not contact the players during the season.
Here’s a list of the prospects the Magic either interviewed at the combine, hosted for pre-draft workouts or are expected to host for workouts.
The list of players has been gathered from interviews during the draft combine, the Orlando Sentinel’s reporting and various media reports. This list — which isn’t complete — will be updated as more intel is gathered:

Note: Teams are allowed to interview a maximum of 20 players at the combine and each player is allowed to interview with a maximum of 13 teams, according to a league spokesperson. The league decides which team speaks to the players. Just because a team didn’t interview a prospect during the combine doesn’t mean they’re not interested or won’t pick the player.

Note: Just because a player is working out for a team doesn’t mean they’re a target to be drafted. A team not working out a prospect also doesn’t mean they won’t draft them. Six pre-draft prospects are allowed on the court at a time and aren’t allowed on the court with NBA players. Some players seek feedback from NBA teams ahead of the June 1 deadline college players have to decide whether they’ll stay in the draft or withdraw and keep any remaining collegiate eligibility.
