2017 NBA Draft Lottery: 10 Ideal Selections For The First 10 Teams
5. Orlando Magic - <span Style="font-size: 15px;">Lauri Markkanen</span>
Like the Sacramento Kings, the Orlando Magic are a mainstay of the draft lottery and no matter how hard they try, they never seem to get any better. This makes predicting their move hard, because they have a lot of promising young talent, but are seemingly hopeless at developing them. That being said, Arizona big man Lauri Markkanen would be an ambitious pick for them to shake up their stagnant lineup.
The Magic are chock full of big men, but all of them play under the basket and have little to no floor stretching capabilities. Markkanen could change that, as he shot an impressive .423% from deep in college.
He can score from anywhere on the floor, similar to Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis, and the Magic could use him in a small ball lineup with Aaron Gordon to maximize both men's skill sets. It's a risky move, but the Magic need to swing for the fences to break out of their current slump.
