Luck was on the Magic’s side during the draft lottery, but now comes the hard part: drafting the right player.

Nearly every mock draft has the Magic taking either Auburn’s Jabari Smith or Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren. It will be up to the Magic to choose wisely between the two, or any other prospect they’re considering.
Here are some post-lottery mock drafts showing who the experts think the Magic will select on June 23. Click on each for the full mock draft.
