Orlando Sentinel: Devin Booker lobbied Orlando Magic to draft him

The Orlando Magic gave their fifth overall pick from the 2015 Draft a chance early in the fourth quarter after leaving him out of the rotation for much of the past two weeks.

The assignment Mario Hezonja drew is one that has become something of a microcosm for discussion regarding Mario Hezonja and that fateful draft. He drew Devin Booker, and almost immediately the 13th overall pick from the draft hit a jumper over Hezonja.

Watching Booker light up the scoreboard with the Phoenix Suns — he had only 11 points on 4-for-10 shooting in 34 minutes Wednesday — has left Magic fans wondering what could have been.
