With Orlando Magic guards Markelle Fultz and Gary Harris set to hit free agency, could Houston Cougars guard Jamal Shead step in and contribute right away?

ORLANDO — With the NBA Draft three weeks away, the Orlando Magic are hosting players with pre-draft visits and sharpening their intel for the No. 18 and 47 overall picks. Among the seven players to audition recently for Orlando was Houston guard Jamal Shead.

In his senior season at Houston, the 6-foot-1 Shead had 12 games with at least three steals for a Cougars defense that allowed the fewest points per game. Beyond his defensive prowess, Shead set career highs in points , assists and rebounds per game in his final college season. Shead ranks No. 34 on CBS' draft board, No. 53 on ESPN and No. 60 on The Ringer. If Shead piques Orlando's interest, he'd likely be in play for its second-round pick.
