#18: Orlando Magic select Tristan da Silva 

The Magic don’t have many team weaknesses but one of them is 3-point shooting, something da Silva would help right away, so they’d be happy if he fell here. 

Orlando struggled getting looks in the postseason without enough floor spacing, so da Silva would be perfect for them as a big wing who can shoot the lights out. 

He’s hit just under 40 percent from long range in the last two seasons. He does come in as an older prospect, but the Magic won’t care, as they are ready to win now, and he fills their biggest need.
