Three-point shooting and defense are two major weaknesses for the Magic, so why not draft a player that can help in both areas? Tyler Dorsey checks off both of those boxes.

Dorsey was a knockdown shooter for the Ducks. He made 42.3 percent of his three-pointers as a sophomore after making 40.6 as a freshman. Dorsey can do more offensively than just shoot. He can really fill it up, as he scored at least 20 points in his final eight games at Oregon during the Pac-12 tournament and NCAA Tournament.

Scoring is definitely Dorsey’s strength, and every team could use some scoring. But, he would also help on the defensive end of the court. He has the size to defend multiple positions and is very athletic. His non-stop motor is nice as well.

Dorsey does have some things to work on, such as his decision-making. He would find more playing time if he showed he is capable of playing some point guard.

Shooting guard is a spot that could be wide open for the Magic this season, especially if Evan Fournier spends most of his time at small forward. The only other shooting guard on the roster would be Terrence Ross. Landing with the Magic would be a good spot for Dorsey as he would fill a need and could find playing time right away.
