2022 NBA Mock Draft 7.0: Magic secure top spot, plus complete 1st- and 2nd-round picks

CHICAGO — The draft order is set, and the Orlando Magic secured the No. 1 overall pick after having a 14% chance at the top spot coming into the NBA draft lottery Tuesday night.

This is the first No. 1 pick for the Magic since 2004 when they drafted Dwight Howard. Now, the front office has to figure out which player out of the big three — Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero — will fit their young squad alongside Cole Anthony, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs.
