Orlando could look to use their two picks to move up, but unless they want the 4th or 5th pick, that is not likely to happen.

Ausar’s combination of athleticism and defense will play immediately in Orlando, and since they already have Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner eating up a lot of their shots, adding a guy who doesn’t need the ball in his hands to make an impact makes perfect sense.
