4. Orlando Magic – Evan Mobley, C, USC

If the Orlando Magic end up deciding to trade Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon, the team could address the frontcourt with their projected top 5 pick. With Evan Mobley falling to them at No. 4, they couldn’t have asked for a better fit.

You can make the argument that Mobley is the second-best prospect in this draft as he has showcased the ability to be the ideal big for the modern NBA. He has flashed the potential to be a go-to scorer and will have the opportunity to be an elite defender as soon as he makes the jump to the NBA.

During his freshman season at USC, Mobley averaged 17 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks per game. The Magic could begin their rebuilding process around Mobley and address some of their other needs via free agency as well.
