NBA Mock Draft: Magic Adds Another PG?
ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic could take another high-upside rookie or two in this year's NBA Draft.
With the sixth-best odds to acquire the No. 1 overall pick, likely France big man Victor Wembanyama, the Magic could land on the stars by shooting for the moon.
Should the Magic land the No. 6 pick in the NBA Draft, Yardbarker suggests that the team may eye Arkansas point guard Anthony Black.
"If they stay put, Anthony Black could be a really nice fit with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner because of the way his game should complement the two," Yardbarker writes. "At 6-foot-7, Black is a big guard who does a little bit of everything - he defends his butt off, he's a ball-mover and playmaker, and he knows how to use his size to his advantage around the basket. Adding him into the mix of jumbo athletes the Magic have at most positions would create even more mismatches against opponents."
Even with Orlando's point guard situated filled with Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony, drafting Black for his upside may be too enticing to pass up. Black averaged 12.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 36 games for the Razorbacks in his freshman year, a small sample size for what could lead to improvements in his game at the NBA level.
