8. Orlando Magic (via CHI) – Keyonte George, G, Baylor

With a second pick in the NBA Draft Lottery, this one via the Chicago Bulls, the Orlando Magic will be able to add another player that could end up paying dividends for the team down the line. And this is where the Magic could elect to take more of a risk.

Keyonte George would be another interesting addition to the Magic at the NBA Draft. So far this season at Baylor, he’s averaging 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists on 33 percent shooting from 3-point range. He certainly has some improvement to make with his shooting efficiency numbers but has the talent to make him a worthy lottery pick.

The hope for the Magic likely revolves around making the playoffs in the 2-3 years. And with the amount of talent that this team has on the roster, that’s not outrageous at all. And if both or even one of their lottery picks hits, that could be expedited.
