The Orlando Magic are poised to take Auburn forward Jabari Smith Jr. with the No. overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony. The Oklahoma City Thunder would then take Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren at No.
He’ll still probably be inside more than he needs to be, even if Holmgren is Orlando’s pick. But Holmgren will play and he’ll get stronger as time goes on. And the two of them defending the lane?
Time and time again over the last ten years, the Magic have found themselves in the middle of the NBA Draft lottery. But this time, the patience fans have shown - and the time they’ve been waiting for the team to return to relevancy in the East - has finally paid off. For the third time in franchise history, and the first time since 2004, the Orlando Magic will be selecting first overall in the draft.
