With their second first round pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic have plenty of different directions they can go in.
The Orlando Magic have a chance to add a very special talent with the sixth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. They’ll likely end up with one of Jonathan Isaac, De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Dennis Smith Jr. Not bad for a franchise going nowhere fast.
Orlando has been a franchise in flux since the breakup of the Dwight Howard-led team that made the NBA Finals in 2009.
