14. Orlando Magic

After a solid showing in the NBA Summer League, Paolo Banchero looks like a prospect that could end up becoming the new face of the Orlando Magic. Of course, he will still need to prove that over the course of his rookie season, but the future appears bright.

In addition to Banchero, the Magic have some other valuable prospects on the roster. One to keep an eye on when training camp opens is Jonathan Isaac. If he can bounce back and get back on track, he could help create a great 1-2-3 punch with Banchero and Jalen Suggs.

This will be another difficult year when it comes to wins and losses for the Magic, but they could be a couple of seasons from truly taking a tangible step forward in the Eastern Conference standings.
