No matter what happens, the Magic will not draft worse than 19. If the Magic lose to the Bucks but make the playoffs, the Magic is looking at drafting about 16.
Excluding falling to the lottery, that's kind of the Magic's draft window: 16-to-19. Devin Carter might be available at that slot if the Magic is win-now. If it is all BPA: Kyshawn George would be my choice.
The Orlando Magic is tied with the Lakers, Sixers, and Pacers. That means there will be a "The Draw", as the NBA calls it, to determine the 16 to 19 picks in the NBA draft.
So: when I said the Magic would draft between 16 and 19, well, all of thos are still the range for the selection. But now selected at a Silver's casino rather than by looking at the W and L columns of the standings.
Anyhow:
it is 100% that Orlando will draft between 16 and 19 in the 2024 NBA draft, unless the pick is traded.
I still like KyShawn George, if available (I always think BPA is the choice). If not Johnny Furphy's shooting has to be worth a look.
