Orlando Magic 35th Anniversary: 35 best players in Magic history

35. D.J. Augustin (2017-20)

If you ask any Orlando Magic fan what they first think of when D.J. Augustin is mentioned, it is usually the game-winning three against the eventual champion Toronto Raptors back in the 2019 playoffs. That shot gave Orlando their first postseason win in seven years and Augustin will forever be a bright spot during that era. -Patrick Previty

34. Mickael Pietrus (2009-11)

Mickael Pietrus played 2.5 years with the Orlando Magic but played a big role in the arguably two best teams in Magic history. Pietrus played in any role asked and would play even better when games mattered most. -Omar Cabrera

33. Arron Afflalo (2013-14, 2018)

Arron Afflalo is one of the greatest scorers in Orlando Magic history and earned him his spot at 33. In his two prime years with the Magic, he averaged 15.9 points per game including one season where he averaged 18.2 points, 3.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. -Coby Leibowitz

32. Markelle Fultz (2019-Present)

Markelle Fultz is continuing to rewrite his story in Orlando. Considered a draft bust in Philadelphia, Fultz is proving he is a valuable NBA player and the best is yet to come. -Jean Racine

31. Terrence Ross (2017-23)

Terrence Ross, or the “Human Torch,” played seven seasons for the Orlando Magic and was instrumental in spacing the floor for the recent playoff teams of the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Ross averaged 12.7 points, 1.7 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game and is beloved by Magic fans for his streaky three-point shooting. He currently ranks as sixth in made threes in Orlando Magic history. -Harrison Brown

30. Wendell Carter (2021-Present)

Wendell Carter is Mr. Reliable and has put up good numbers in an Orlando Magic uniform. Carter has extended his range in Orlando and continues to improve to anchor this young team as they try to build out their defense. -Jean Racine

29. Reggie Theus (1990)

Reggie Theus was toward the end of his NBA career when he suited up for the Orlando Magic and was picked from the Atlanta Hawks in the expansion draft. But his presence was felt. He averaged 18.9 points and 4.7 assists per game at 32 years old and brought some excitement to Orlando as a former two-time All Star joined the Magic in their inaugural season. -Harrison Brown
