NBA Mock Draft 7.0: Spurs make shocking pick at No. 2; Blazers trade Damian Lillard
6. Orlando Magic – Anthony Black, G, Arkansas
As one of the more intriguing prospects from this year’s NBA Draft class, Anthony Black is a player that keeps rising and rising up boards. And I believe that Anthony Black could end up being a great fit for the Orlando Magic. Black is a player that could just fit in with where the team is going and how it’s building. Black could come in and be the playmaker that makes the team go-round. He wouldn’t have to be a No. 1 option for the team and could even take somewhat of a backseat when it comes to scoring.
Black has the playmaking ability that he could be a piece that helps the Magic make strides in their progression. He may not be viewed as a “huge” addition as the No. 6 pick in the NBA Draft but could end up making a huge difference in the grand scheme of what this team needs heading into next season.
The Magic showed flashes of their potential this past season. And there is going to be an expectation for the Magic heading into next season. This is a team that might be ready to compete for a playoff spot as soon as this season.
