Five potential fits for the Magic in the 2015 NBA Draft
The Orlando Magic are in a bit of a pickle with this year's NBA draft lottery. On the one hand, the Magic finished with the fifth-worst record in the league, which gives them a decent chance (8.8 percent) at the top pick. On the other, the fifth-worst record actually means Orlando's likeliest draft slot is sixth, thanks to the chance that another team vaults into the top three.
Unlikely as it is, the Magic could very well win the opportunity to have their pick of any draft prospect they so desire: Jahlil Okafor. Karl Anthony-Towns. D'Angelo Russell. Emanuel Mudiay.
But many of those players would be redundant with Orlando's current young prospects, particularly in the backcourt, where the Magic seem set going forward with Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo. And would Orlando really draft one of the top center prospects with Nikola Vucevic entering the first year of a massive contract extension?
The two forward positions, then, are likely to be the Magic's biggest draft focus. And if that turns out to be the case, names like Justise Winslow, Sam Dekker, Stanley Johnson and Frank the Tank jump off the page -- along with one big-time potential No. 1 pick who could be too good to pass up.
