Crystal Ballin': Orlando Magic

Crystal Ballin' takes a team-by-team look at what should, could, and probably will happen in the June 28th NBA Draft.

The Magic traded away their first-round pick (No. 15) in the package that netted them Darko Milicic and Carlos Arroyo midway through the 2005-06 season. Was it worth it? Perhaps if they re-sign Darko, but even then it's questionable. Nevertheless, the Magic enter the draft with two second rounders (No. 44 and 54), so they'll be happy if they find someone who makes their roster, let alone cracks their rotation.

Needs: Consistent scoring from the wing, a legitimate starting point guard (sorry, Jameer Nelson), and if Darko leaves, a big man to play next to Dwight Howard. In other words, more than a pair of second-round picks will solve.

Best-Case Scenario: For the Magic to get someone capable of making an immediate impact, they'll likely need to package their picks and another player in a trade to move up. Otherwise, a guy like Nick Fazekas just might fall to them at No. 44 (unlikely, but possible). At 6-11, he has great size for the power forward spot to help out on the boards, and his offensive game is refined just enough to prevent the defense from always collapsing on Howard.

More Likely Scenario: Maybe a guy like Florida's Chris Richard, who gets by on energy and hustle but doesn't really add anything on the offensive end. Basically, a guy who makes the top end of the rotation work in practice. Glen Davis just sprained his ankle -- teams already worried about his conditioning may now be concerned with his ability to stay healthy. If he falls, the Magic would have to jump. Also, taking a flyer on Jared Jordan wouldn't hurt considering the options the Magic currently have at point guard (Nelson and Arroyo).

Please Don't Take: Seriously, there's no one the Magic can afford to cross off their list, not picking this low in the draft.
