Redrafting the 2015 NBA Draft: Role players everywhere
By Corey Rausch
#5 Pick: Montrezl Harrell (Originally: Mario Hezonja)
Mario Hezonja had plenty of promise when he was drafted by the Magic and unfortunately has yet to live up to it. He had only appeared in 47 games this season on his third team already so no telling if he ever will but this pick had to change for the Magic.
Montrezl Harrell may not a starter but he is a star. The progression was slow when he was not getting much of a chance in Houston but his production has increased year to year in Los Angeles. He has only started a total of 25 games but as a super-reserve he is overqualified.

This season for the Clippers he averaged 18.6 points and 7.1 rebounds in only 27.8 minutes per game. He has missed only 7 games since coming to the Clippers. He is durable, physical and a leader in the locker room. He would have brought a personality to Orlando that has otherwise mostly lacked personality since Dwight Howard left. The positional overlap with Tobias Harris, rookie Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic would not be an issue as Harrell thrives in his bench role.
