J.J. Redick, James Augustine and Milovan Rakovic, Orlando's haul from the last two NBA Drafts, will play for the Magic's summer league team next week in the Pepsi Pro Summer League.

The games, which are closed to the public, will feature teams from the Charlotte Bobcats, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat and New Jersey Nets. There will be three games a day for five days next week at the Magic's headquarters at RDV Sportsplex. The games will be broadcast at orlandomagic.com.

Former University of Florida standout Joakim Noah, the ninth pick in last week's NBA Draft, is expected to make his professional debut with the Bulls. Other top rookies in the event will be New Jersey's Sean Williams, Miami's Daequan Cook and Chicago's Aaron Gray.

Here is a look at the rest of the Magic's roster:

ORLANDO MAGIC SUMMER LEAGUE ROSTER
No. Name Pos. Ht. Wt. Date of Birth Last Team/College
40 James Augustine F 6-10 235 2-27-84 Orlando Magic/Illinois
6 Stephen Barber G 5-10 160 1-14-80 Albuquerque NBDL/UT-Arlington
52 Mike Bell F 6-9 225 8-11-82 Vigo Spain/Florida Atlantic
25 Damone Brown F 6-9 200 6-28-79 Sioux Falls NBDL/Syracuse
44 Anthony Fuqua C 6-11 225 2-16-83 Austin NBDL/UT-San Antonio
41 Charles Gaines F 6-7 235 10-15-81 Joventut Spain/Southern Miss.
13 Marcin Gortat C 7-0 240 2-17-84 Koeln Germany/NA
2 Kevin Kruger G 6-2 185 5-1-83 UNLV/UNLV
22 Torrell Martin G 6-5 200 2-13-85 Winthrop/Winthrop
18 Milovan Rakovic F 6-10 250 2-19-85 Mega Ishrana Serbia/NA
7 J.J. Redick G 6-4 190 6-24-84 Orlando Magic/Duke
11 Tony Skinn G 6-1 175 2-8-83 Clermont France/George Mason
3 Loren Stokes G 6-3 175 11-12-83 Hofstra/Hofstra
23 Jeff Varem F 6-6 245 7-16-83 Tulsa NBDL/Washington State

This is a real good team. Most of the guys from the NBDL are real good players there. Im sure the Magic will watch them closely and maybe get them on the team with a 10-day contract in the beginning of the season if they play well. And also we will get a good chance to see JJ light up the court and our first shot at seeing Gortat and Rakovic in action.

Hopefully something good comes out of these guys. They are 7'0 and 6'10! Would love to have that size on the frontline with Dwight especially since it looks like Darko isnt coming back.

I hope JJ tears that league up. And I really would like to see Gortat be successful and get a chance to make the team. We could always use another 7 footer around here.

I think JJ will go nuts, just like what he is due for during the regular season with a good amount of playing time. I'm also curious to see Rakovic, don't know too much about him.

I hope Gortat gets the chance to set himself apart. We really need another power forward. Do we really want Mario Kasun to be Tony Battie's backup? :/

Gortat did well last season, no reason to think he won't again. It's our insurance policy in case we aren't able to attract another big in a trade or in FA.

I'm surprised Gortat wasn't on this team last season. Redick should do real well in the league.

Memo to JJ: DON'T GET INJURED!

Gortat might very well be on our squad next year with a strong showing. With Darko likely gone the stage is completely set.

With any luck, Gortat will ask for some a**-random uniform number. Viktor Khryapa of the Bulls wears #38. I love it! :lol:

How about #93 like Ron Artest?

I was hoping for something in the 60s or 70s.

Historically, the Magic have never issued a uniform number higher than 55, which leads me to believe they use the NCAA's policy when it comes to numbers.

Heh, Horace Grant #54. 8-)

Horace is the only player in Magic history with that number. I hope it stays that way, at least for a while. The fact that the Magic let Chris Gatling have #25 sickens me. :@

I hope so too. And Chris Gatling wearing #25 is a tarnish on Nick Anderson's legacy.

Kasun might pick up #69.

Sorry. :S
