When the Orlando Magic were on the clock in the 2021 NBA Draft, they were likely not expecting Jalen Suggs to be available to them.

The general consensus leading up to the draft was the Toronto Raptors would be selecting the Gonzaga guard to complement Fred VanVleet to spearhead the new face of their franchise.

In shocking fashion, they decided to take Scottie Barnes, whom the Magic front office probably believed would be in Orlando by the end of the night.
