No. 25 Orlando Magic (Via TOR, Via LAC)- Tyler Lydon (Syracuse, SO, Power Forward)

At this point, Orlando is looking for potential after landing a (hopefully) franchise changer early in the lottery (in this mock, Dennis Smith Jr).

Tyler Lydon, a power forward out of Syracuse, is just that with his great shooting (42.3% 3FG) and nice size (6’10) to be a stretch four coming off the bench. Orlando is once again in rebuilding mode and they land another young talent to join the movement.

In this draft, Orlando needs to land as much talent as they can, and hope that one of these picks will ultimately develop into a franchise player.
