Orlando Magic: 5 options for pick No. 33 in 2017 NBA Draft
Here are five options the Orlando Magic should consider with the 33rd pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
The Orlando Magic are going to be busy tonight. Orlando owns four selections in the 2017 NBA Draft; two in the first round and two in the second round. In the first round, they will be selecting sixth and 25th. In the second round, they will be selecting 33rd and 35th.
With so many selections, the Magic could be active on the trade market as well. It will be difficult to find spots on the roster for four rookies, especially since the Magic already have 12 players on their roster.
However, the Magic do have some needs to fill on the roster. They could use some depth on the roster, more floor spacing and rebounding help. The easiest way to find some cheap, controllable help is through the draft. With as many picks as the Magic have, they should be able to fill some Thursday night during the draft.
Narrowing down who the Magic will be targeting is tough. With so many picks, their draft plans could change on the fly based on how the board falls. If a prospect they want is taken, they could look to move some picks. Or, if a prospect they didn’t expect to be available is there for the taking, their draft strategy could change as well.
Based on what the Magic need help with, we take a crack at picking some players the Magic could target with the first of their two second round picks. Here are five options for the Magic with the 33rd pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
