Could the Orlando Magic benefit from one of the top prospects in the NBA Draft sliding to the No. 18 overall pick?
ORLANDO — The Orlando Magic have multiple avenues to address their need at point guard, but one mock draft now projects that a top prospect will slide to them with the No. 18 overall pick.
"The Magic have the luxury of being patient with Topić's recovery after it was revealed he suffered a partial ACL tear late in the season,". "Orlando has one of the deepest backcourts and might consider taking a swing on Topić if he falls, considering he was a projected top 5 pick all year because of his size and playmaking ability."
Before transferring to Crvena Zvezda in the Serbian Super League, Topić averaged 18.6 points and 6.9 assists across 13 games for Mega BG in the ABA League. He made 65.4 percent of his shots inside the arc and around the basket but only 28.8 percent of his 3-point attempts.. The 6-foot-6 point guard lasted to the No. 13 overall pick in The Ringer's latest mock draft.
