6. Orlando Magic – Michael Porter Jr., F, Missouri

The Orlando Magic have a big decision to make regarding Aaron Gordon this summer, but what could make that decision all the more interesting could be the selection of Michael Porter Jr. Even though I’m not sure this is the best prospect for the Magic – only because they can’t really afford to miss in the draft, and this Porter Jr. is perhaps one of the biggest hit or miss prospects.

If he hits his ceiling, though, Porter Jr. could wind up being the best player in this draft. But that’s no given, especially considering that we really haven’t seen Porter Jr. all that much since he missed the majority of his freshman season at Missouri.

This would be a big swing for Orlando.
