The Orlando Magic did not think Jase Richardson would be a key part of their rotation as a rookie, but the 25th overall pick in the 2025 draft is making them reconsider. He has been one of the most impressive players in Las Vegas. The 19-year-old is shooting efficiently and keeping his turnovers in check, which isn’t easy to do in summer league. Richardson possesses an elite skill that the Magic desperately need, as well as the offensive versatility to complement almost any lineup.
The Magic are committed to contending. They have two young stars and a talented roster behind them.
