The NBA Draft raises a lot of questions for the Orlando Magic who are in need of stability. Here are a few scenarios the Magic will face with a top 3 pick.

We are now days away from the NBA Draft Lottery and the Orlando Magic have a lot more questions than answers right now.

Unfortunately, this is something Magic fans have gotten used to in the past five seasons. The only thing that has seemed to be consistent since former general manager Rob Hennigan dealt Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers is instability.

The Magic have had four head coaches in five years and no imminent franchise player. They now seem weeks away from naming a new head of their basketball operations and moving in a new direction.

But, with the lottery coming up Tuesday, there is a reason for hope in a draft class arguably as loaded as the 2003 Draft.

Each draft position in the lottery raises a different question for the Magic. So while the Magic are still waiting to see where their pick lands, they have to be planning for every eventuality. There are a number of ways the Magic can go. And even if the team does not draft in the top three, there are several good players the Magic could select.

With the Lottery quickly approaching, let us take a look at some of those questions and scenarios and the things the Magic should consider when analyzing each prospect if they find themselves with a top three pick.
