As we get set for the NBA Draft Lottery, the Orlando Magic Daily Mailbag was opened and we finish digging through your questions in this edition.

I had a solid backload of questions to answer in the mailbag this week. Be sure to check out the first batch of questions to the Mailbag.

There are obviously a lot of questions remaining as the Magic prepare for the Draft, a coaching search and much much more beyond.

And a bonus answer: Yes, I think the Draft Lottery will start speeding lots of things up for the Magic, including their coach search. End up with a top-two pick, and all of a sudden, the Magic feel a little more secure about their future and more attractive a landing spot to free agent coaches.

A lot of things get determined with the bounce of a few ping pong balls.

In all likelihood, the Magic walk away with the sixth pick, still having some confidence with who they will pick and what the team will vaguely look like and they continue their coaching search in earnest.

What will be important is the Magic get that coaching search done before July 1 when free agency starts. In all likelihood, they want it done before the draft so the new coach can have some input on the selection.

Only time will tell.
