The Magic are hoping the Oladipo, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, can transition from college shooting guard to NBA point guard.

Former No. 1 overa;ll draft pick Dwight Howard left the Orlando Magic in a trade two seasons ago. Now he and the LA Lakers are headed for the playoffs, albeit it, without Kobe Bryant with his achilles heel injury. The Magic season is mercifully over with a mere 20 wins.
