After the Orlando Magic drafted Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs with the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft, it was tough figuring out who was more excited: the team, fans or draft analysts.
All three groups had nothing but positive things to say, and for good reason. Jalen Suggs is the most talented prospect the Magic have drafted since taking Dwight Howard with the number one overall pick in 2004.
Two picks after landing Jalen Suggs, the Magic were back on the clock, thanks to the Nikola Vucevic trade with the Chicago Bulls. They surprisingly took Michigan forward Franz Wagner with the eighth overall pick.
