If the Magic come out of the draft with Moody and Murphy, that will be a lot of high-quality perimiter offense. I am all for this outcome. Add Usman Garuba at #33 (current player by mock on NBAdraft.net), resign Wagner and and the Magic is:

Anthony/Hampton/Fultz(IR)
Harris/Moody/Brazdeikis
Isaac/Ross
Okeke/Murphy/Wagner
Carter/Bamba/Garuba

I really like this roster for a "player-development" year. (i.e. a tanking year). Then add a good rookie for 2022/23 with a healthy Fultz, this could be a playoff team very, very soon!

p.s. next year's darft is loaded with PFs in the later lottery. Orlando will probably get a nice back-up there, meaning long term, Moody becomes the starting SG and Muerphy replaces Ross.

Something like 2022/23 for the future core:
Fultz/Anthony
Moody/Hampton
Isaac/Murphy
Okeke/2020-rookie
Carter/Bamba/Garuba

There is a lot of length and defense there. And now: SHOOTING !

I appreciate your post and mostly agree with you.

I don't think Garuba will be there at 33.
I am more than ok with Hurt or Garza at 33.

Bitte!

I also cannot see Garuba being available. (But if he is, that is a STEAL at #33).
Perhaps Charles Bassey or JT Thor are another direction besides Garza.
