11. Orlando Magic

Pick: Skal Labissiere, F, Kentucky 

Skal Labissiere might’ve disappointed to a certain extent during his freshman season at Kentucky, but he’s still loaded with talent and probably should be a top 10 pick. He could even end up being the best player to come out of his draft, but he’s not ready to play at the next level now.

That’s the problem with drafting him so high. That onus will now fall on Frank Vogel and the Orlando Magic staff. But, with the job that he did with Myles Turner last season with the Indiana Pacers, perhaps he could make his magic (no pun intended) work again with Skal.

Will Orlando finally find the right big to play next to Nikola Vucevic?
