ORLANDO – While many feel the Magic selected the best shot blocker in the 2018 NBA Draft in Mohamed Bamba, Orlando may have also chosen the best dunker.
Melvin Frazier Jr., the Magic’s second round draft choice (35th overall), is mostly known for his supreme athleticism and defensive grit. Some of his dunks from college – like when he dribbled behind his back and then jumped from just outside the key before posterizing a pair of UNC players – were just flat out crazy.
Even though there are other freakish athletes from this draft class – notably Marvin Bagley III, Miles Bridges, Zhaire Smith, Hamidou Diallo and Josh Okogie – the 21-year-old from Louisiana may be the most creative high flyer of them all.
