2018 Orlando Magic NBA Draft Preview: The case for drafting Trae Young

What do the Orlando Magic need more than anything?

A star.

Trae Young is just that.

After years of missing the playoffs and high draft picks, the Magic have little to show for it. Aaron Gordon seems to be blossoming into a good player. And Jonathan Isaac looks promising defensively but neither one can transform a team overnight with his presence. Especially on offense.

Trae Young can.

The Oklahoma Sooners guard led Division I with 27.4 points per game and 8.7 assists per game.
