Orlando Magic: Top 10 NBA Draft picks in franchise history

5. Victor Oladipo (PG/SG) — No. 2 pick in 2013 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Magic):  224 GP, 15.9 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, 0.5 BPG, 2.5 TOV, 43.1 FG%, 33.9 3P%, 80.8 FT%

With Dwight Howard forcing a trade the year before – combined with a season in which they won a league-worst 20 games – things weren’t looking too good for a Magic squad that had gone to the playoffs for six straight seasons, including an NBA Finals appearance in 2009.

In an effort to rebuild a roster that had lost yet another marquee big man, the Magic selected Victor Oladipo from the University of Indiana with the second overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Although Oladipo had developed a reputation as a defensive specialist, what caught the eye of the Magic was the fact that he shot an efficient 44 percent from beyond the arc — which was a considerable jump from the 21 percent conversion rate he posted the year before.

The good news is Oladipo was a solid contributor during his stint with the Magic. In three seasons, he averaged 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest on 44 percent shooting overall and 35 percent from deep.

On the flip side of the coin, the Magic won just 83 games during those three seasons and they eventually shipped Oladipo, along with Ersan Ilyasova and the rights to the 11th overall pick (Domantas Sabonis) to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In his first season with OKC, Oladipo’s numbers remained consistent for the most part, as he averaged 15.9 points 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest.
