Orlando Magic: 3 scenarios for sixth pick in 2018 NBA Draft

1. Keep the pick

Anticlimactic perhaps, but the most likely scenario of the three would be if Orlando kept the pick and took the best available player when its number is called.

Whether this is a guard or a forward, any player the Magic take is realistically going to be able to help sooner rather than later.

With the draft approaching, it is interesting to see that, bar the assuredness with which DeAndre Ayton believes he is going first, other top prospects have chopped and changed in mock drafts.

Really though, it already feels like the Magic have made up their minds with who they’d like to draft, with Trae Young extremely visible around the team already.

The possibility of moving up or down will likely be there all the way up to draft night itself, and the team should be open to any move if other pieces and contracts get involved.

But in sticking with the sixth pick, combined with the hiring of Steve Clifford as head coach and a front office continuing to steer the organization in the right direction, the Magic can’t go too far wrong.
