1. Orlando Magic – Jabari Smith, F, Auburn

The Auburn Tigers had a bit of a disappointing run in the NCAA Tournament, but Jabari Smith did pop during his run. He went viral with a monster dunk during the opening weekend. He didn’t do anything that would hurt his stock either.

Smith will still be viewed as a safe No. 1 selection and that is exactly what the Orlando Magic should choose to do should they land the No. 1 pick. Smith would have the potential to be the new face of the franchise and Orlando should embrace that.

Smith has the potential to be lethal on both sides of the floor and is truly an underrated athlete. I’m not sure he’s viewed as such in many draft circles. Nevertheless, the Magic would be getting a really good and consistent player in Smith at No. 1.
