NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Draft using the current NBA lottery position
Detroit Pistons: Mock Draft 2.0 pick No. 4
Guard. Jalen Green. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. G-League / Orlando Magic. 4. 38
The Magic need help pretty much everywhere after they blew up their team this season, trading away Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic.
They would love to get a scoring guard to pair with Cole Anthony, who has had a good rookie season and looks like the point guard of the future.
Green is a guy who accomplished at both ends, can be an elite defender as well as a volume scorer, so would fit well on just about any team.
I am not so sure he’s not the second best player in this draft, so if the Magic could get him here, they’d be ecstatic.
The Magic have had some bad luck with injuries over the last few seasons and are hoping it balances out in the draft lottery.
