“We look to add a really talented, young, high-character guy to our talent base and our roster. I have no expectations on it. Obviously, we’ll continue to do our work. This really doesn’t change much of the way that we’ll approach the draft.

“We’re just really excited to be able to fall in love with somebody and pick that player,” added Weltman.

The  Magic haven’t had the top pick since 2004, when they selected Dwight Howard.

Might Holmgrem bring them back to glory? He certainly thinks so.
