15. Orlando Magic – Theo Maledon, PG, ASVEL

For the Orlando Magic, who are projected to pick outside the lottery, there are plenty of different options that will be in play for the team. One intriguing option is selecting a point guard that could help solidify the team’s backcourt. Theo Maledon could be the answer, even though he’s somewhat of a mystery as a prospect.

Maledon has shown the ability to be a good playmaker and has good size for the position. He isn’t the best athlete or most explosive player by any means but has the potential to be a consistent offensive player.

I’m not sold on Maledon being a long-term starter in the NBA but do love his potential at No. 15. Who knows what the future holds for the Magic and Markelle Fultz, but getting some insurance at the position would be a smart play.
