The Atlanta Hawks rise in the NBA Draft lottery is reminiscent of the 1993 Draft that would help the Orlando Magic select Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway.

The NBA Lottery results are in, and the Orlando Magic have kept a firm grasp on draft history for yet another season.

While Orlando currently hangs just one jersey in its rafters, 1992 No. 1 pick Shaquille O’Neal, the 1993 draft was arguably just as important for the legacy of the Magic’s franchise. However, the six-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA team member didn’t ever suit up for the Magic during his 15-year NBA career. Instead, this draft is iconic for Orlando because of the man the team traded him to acquire just a few picks after they selected him, Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway.
