TJ Leaf if he's there, or preferably Jawun Evans if we don't take a PG at #6.

Depends who is there, so many options. If there, any of Diallo, Kennard, Leaf, Rabb, John Collins, Giles, T Ferg, Bam, Evans.

One of the hidden gems in this draft. Of course this is assuming we go with a forward at the 6th.

Hopefully a backup bigman who can defend and run. Thats it. The next Kyle OQuinn. Solid backup bigs on rookie deals are good to have.

Donovan Mitchell, please. He has reminded me some of DWade.

Tony Bradley would be your guy.

Frank Jackson and PJ Dozier are safe picks if the Magic want to lock down the PG depth chart.

As the Magic has so many picks, Rodions Kurucs makes sense, if the goal is to have him season in Europe another year. Similarly, if he slides, the Magic could tab Harry Giles and have him sit out the year.

At 25 though? Bit of a reach for me.

I was sold on Jonathan Jeanne before his positioning jumped this week. I still think there's no way the Magic bring 4 rookies to camp; maybe 2 or 3 max. The picks offer them an opportunity to move up in the mid-lottery and get someone like Jeanne or Justin Patton.

My hope for the Magic is to come away from this draft with:

1.) Some semblance of a go-to scorer
2.) A point guard
3.) A defense-first center

Therefore, I'd look at guys like Jawun Evans, Frank Jackson (I really liked his game at Duke, 25 may be too high and could probably be had in 2nd round), Isaiah Hartenstein, Anzejs Pasecniks, Bam Adebayo. I don't really have an opinion on Hamidou Diallo, but I wouldn't mind the Magic taking a swing considering the depth of the draft and how many picks they have; they can afford a hail mary.

What you think Evans will be gone by the 25th?

This Draft is very PG and swing heavy.

I feel The Magic will walk away with one of each.

Who they pick at #25 could be for another team as they are not going to bring 4 rookies to camp. I expect them to use #33 and/or #35 to move up a little from #25.

Who they target will probably depend on the player's position they select at #6.

This is an ideal scenario.

You probably can pull this off given the amount of picks The Magic have.
