LAL and the Pelicans both making the playoffs really helped the Magic in this mini lottery for 16-19. There was a scenario were it would have been a selection from 18-20.
Said another way, if the Magic gets 16 or 17, it will be from a big THANK YOU to these two western teams.
EDIT: it also matter for this pick that the Sixers made the playoffs. TY philly.
Maybe it matters. We drafted Jett at 11 last year.
