The Orlando Magic had the best odds heading into the 2013 NBA Draft Lottery, and while they did not snag the No. 1 overall pick, they were able to grab the second pick. There are a few ways the Magic could go here, but most experts feel that they will take Ben McLemore out of Kansas.
Here are five mock drafts and their selections:
Mock Draft | Magic's pick |
Jonathan Tjarks, SB Nation | Ben McLemore |
Jonathan Givony, DraftExpress/Yahoo! Sports | Ben McLemore |
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com | Ben McLemore |
Chad Ford, ESPN | Trey Burke |
Chris Mannix, Sports Illustrated | Ben McLemore |
The Magic do have Arron Afflalo already in place at the 2-guard, but he could slide to the 3 if McLemore is the pick. There's also always the possibility of a trade if Orlando does not feel like the two can co-exist.
Michigan's Burke is an intriguing option, as the Magic could really use a point guard. However, McLemore is the better prospect and taking Burke at No. 2 could be a bit of a reach.
