NBA Mock Draft 1.0: Getting to know Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren

3. Orlando Magic – Jabari Smith Jr., F, Auburn

Through the first few games of his collegiate career, Jabari Smith Jr. is already a name that is gaining some buzz amongst the draft community. He has great size, athleticism, and has proven that he can be electric on the offensive end of the floor.

For the Orlando Magic, Smith could be an option in the top 3. They are still trying to identify which players on the team could be considered franchise cornerstones and I don’t think there is any set in stone.

This is purely the best player available selection and Smith would fit the mold with what the Magic should be building. Smith is averaging 15 points and seven rebounds on 46 percent shooting from the field overall and 41 percent shooting from 3-point range.
