(Note: There are some projected trades)
1. Orlando Magic – Jabari Smith Jr. | 19 | Auburn| Forward | 6’10 | 220
Things have started to heat up around this pick as of last night when Paolo Banchero briefly became the betting favorite. The rumor out there is that Houston is trying to trade up to the #1 spot to ensure they get “their guy” in Banchero. I don’t think Orlando budges as they also can’t be sure that Sam Presti wouldn’t take Smith (their preferred choice) over Holmgren.
