The Orlando Magic should be looking for defense and shooting. Running O.G. at the 2 will fit their style of size and length while filling a team need. Picks 6 and 11 are not good enough to get a superstar in this draft, and the Magic have such a deep roster they shouldn't be too interested in drafting 2 more young prospects in the lottery either. When everyone was healthy, this team was easily a play-in team last year. With the addition of O.G. and the progression of their young core, Orlando could make some noise in the East next year.

The Thunder have been rumored to be looking to trade up in this year's draft. With Shai, Giddey, JDub, and Chet looking like the core for the future, they should be looking for Chet's front court pairing this offseason. At pick 12, the best front court prospects are projected to be off the board. With a plethora of picks over the coming years, the Thunder may look to package some draft capital together and move up.

Draft Jarace Walker with Pick 6

After a dissapointing season and the departure of Nick Nurse, the Raptors may be looking to retool or rebuild. Aquiring two lottery picks in this draft as well as a future first is good value for O.G. and the Raptors can look to draft players that will compliment Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam better than O.G.

Draft one of Cason Wallace, Anthony Black, Kobe Bufkin, or Jalen Hood-Schifino with Pick 11

Draft Derrick Lively with Pick 12

Draft one of Gradey Dick, Brice Sensabaugh, or Jordan Hawkins with Pick 13
