O-TOWN Hoops...the ORLANDO MAGIC select VICTOR OLADIPO of HOOSIER Hysteria in Round 1 of 2013 as they usher in a New Era of O-MAGIC Hoops...MAGIC loaded with YOUTH mixed in with some seasoned VETS and should be Exciting if anything in the 2013-14 Season...#MAGICNation #OMagicHoops #MAGICgang

The Orlando Magic get their man in the 2013 NBA Draft and Ultra-Athletic Combo Guard Victor Oladipo of Hoosier Hysteria Bloomington, Indiana. They add him to a collection of talented Puppies like Nikola Vucevic, Andrew Nicholson, Mo Harkless, and Tobias Harris. Those four along with Magic Leader and OG Jameer Nelson of St. Joseph PA Hoops Lore and Arron Affalo round out a good mix of players for 2nd-year Lead Man Jacque Vaughn. Can the Magic make any noise in the NBA Southeast ran by the Champs 305 Miami Heat with plenty of room behind them to take Seat #2? Is Hedo Turkoglu even half what he was a few years ago. Can Big Baby Davis come off his Foot Injury and be semi-productive. These are some of the questions the O-Magic have to answer moving into the 2013-14 NBA Season. Watch for former Purdue Boilermaker PG E'Twuan Moore who has been doing his thing in the pre-season.

The Core of the Magic is young and filled with multi-talented players as Coach Vaughn has his work cut out tying to fit all these pieces in the right holes. Oladipo, Harris, and Harkless are the three the Magic have to be most excited about as well as Center Vucevic moving forward as that is their core for the future.

The Magic will try to bring along that core slowly as Vets Jameer Nelson, Affalo, Maxiell, and Big Baby Davis as well as Hedo Turkoglu will help that process. Can the Magic get to that #2 Seed in the Southeast behind the Miami Heat as the Wiz Kids of D.C., mikeCATS of Charlotte, and Hawks move pieces around to improve their status?

Oladipo has been labeled as the next Dwayne Wade and right now he just needs to be the first Victor Oladipo.
