Orlando finished the 2021 season with a 21-51 record.

In the 2020 draft, the Magic had the No. 15 pick and selected North Carolina guard Cole Anthony.

The point guard finished the season averaging just under 13 points a game while dishing out 4 assists a game while bringing in 4.7 rebounds a game.

The rookie shot 39.7 from the field, 33.7 beyond the arc and 83 percent from the line.

Anthony did not make the first or second all-rookie team.

The past six seasons, Orlando did not have a player make the first or second-all rookie team.

Fans have to go back to 2015, Elfrid Payton made the first all-rookie team.

The Magic currently do not have a head coach.
