3. Orlando Magic – Jalen Green, G, G League Ignite

There are a number of ways the Orlando Magic could go with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. However, the more I think about this roster and think about where they could be heading over the next few seasons, I believe that it would be in the best interest of this team to take a big swing with this pick.

Assuming Cunningham and Mobley are off the board when the Magic are selecting, I expect this team to take a shot on Jaylen Green.

Green is far from a safe pick in the draft but in the mind of some has the best star potential after the consensus top 2. Green absolutely has his faults as a player, but there’s no question that there is a lot to like about his raw skill set on both ends of the floor.
