The Orlando Magic began their latest rebuilding phase Thursday night with Gonzaga point guard Jalen Suggs falling right in their laps at No. 5. They then turned around and snagged Michigan forward/center Franz Wagner at No. 8.
With their first pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic found Suggs still sitting on the board when they were on the clock to make their No. 5 selection. Sticking with their intention to take the best available players, Orlando drafted the Gonzaga point guard to begin their rebuilding project.
Suggs is also an accurate shooter, who hit 50 percent of his floor shots going 155-of-308, and he also hit 34% of his 3-pointers (35-104).
