2017 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: De’Aaron Fox, Jayson Tatum Rise; Jonathan Isaac, Dennis Smith Fall
By Tony Webb
No. 25 Orlando Magic (From T0R)- 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, Jayson Tatum).
Tyler Lydon, a power forward out of Syracuse, is just that with his great shooting (40% 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 NBA 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.
