Orlando Magic first round pick Chuma Okeke begins pro journey with Lakeland Magic

The Orlando Magic could use reinforcements right about now.

Without a doubt, the team’s decision to bring back much the same roster with all of its offensive flaws is currently blowing back in its face as the team flounders offensively. A solid draft pick would have gone a long way to saving the team some money.

That is all the background that Chuma Okeke will step into when he joins the team next year. The Magic opted to punt on a draft pick this year, taking the still-injured Chuma Okeke with the 16th overall pick and opting not to sign him to his rookie deal this year.
