Orlando Magic

1. MAX STRUS MOVING NORTH? "Strus, an undrafted free agent out of DePaul, recently wrapped up a career-year for the Heat last season. The 27-year-old posted career-highs in points (11.0), rebounds (3.2) and assists (2.1), while shooting 35 percent from three on seven attempts per game."

2. SUPER EXCITED "I'm super excited," Black said. "There's a lot of talent on the floor, a lot of young dudes. It'll be a fun team, for sure."

3. BLACK ADVISED BY MVP "Good luck today on the draft," Jokic said in a video to Black. "But I gotta tell you, that doesn't mean anything. I was 41st pick, and nobody counted me... Just work hard, surround yourself with good people that you trust."

4. LAS VEGAS SUMMER LEAGUE ROSTER The Orlando Magic is gearing up for the Las Vegas Summer League and has released its roster for the five-game showcase.

Here's a look at who made the team ...
