NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Spurs land Victor Wembanyama; Raptors jump into top 5

6. Orlando Magic – Jarace Walker, F, Houston

With another high pick in this year’s NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic will be trying to add to their already talented young core. Paolo Banchero seems like the real deal, even as he has run into somewhat of a rookie wall, but this is just the beginning for a franchise that deserves brighter days.

Perhaps Walker is a player that the Magic could play next to Wendell Carter Jr. in the long run. Walker has the athleticism and talent to be a versatile weapon for the Magic down the road. In the beginning, it will all be about development, which will be a task for this team. Objectively, they haven’t been the best team at development.

However, if the Magic are able to land a player as talented as Walker, who could even play his way to being a top 4 or 5 pick in this year’s draft, they should absolutely roll the dice. He has the potential to be a special player in the NBA.
