Orlando Magic Select Daniel Orton with 29th Pick in 2010 NBA Draft

The Orlando Magic selected Daniel Orton, a 6'10" big man from Kentucky, with the 29th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. Orton averaged 3.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 13.2 minutes in his last season with Kentucky. He slid deep in the draft due to concerns about a knee injury. His selection might signal the end of Marcin Gortat's tenure in Orlando; the incumbent backup center is believed to be available via trade.

Magic GM Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy will be available shortly to discuss the selection with the media.

The pick stunned the assembled media here at the Magic's draft headquarters at RDV SportsPlex.

The Magic also hold the 59th selection.

UPDATE: Chad Ford of ESPN Insider says "the Magic can afford to bring him along slowly," but he's "pretty sure Orton is wishing tonight that he'd stayed another year at Kentucky."

UPDATE 2: Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress sent this Twitter message earlier today:

Daniel Orton should write a book entitled: "How not to handle the NBA draft process." Made every mistake imaginable in the last few months.

Note that Givony's critical of Orton's draft approach, not his game.

And Kevin Pelton's similarity score compares Orton to Phoenix Suns backup center Robin Lopez.

Do you think this has anything to do with Gortat?

I don’t. It seems to me that the only two lines of reasoning that would lead to drafting Orton would be:

a) to trade him, and

b) for the long term.

I don’t think anyone would seriously expect Orton to be ready to play NBA minutes four months from now. I mean, 3.4/3.3 in 13 MPG in the NBA wouldn’t cut it for a backup… and that’s what Orton did in college.

“Nevertheless, he dropped some small but intriguing glimpses of potential from time to time, particularly as the season moved on and his comfort level seemingly increased. Orton can carve out space in the post with his huge frame, create shots for himself with some interesting spin moves, shows very nice touch around the basket, and finishes extremely well at the rim thanks to his outstanding length and strength. He even stepped outside on rare occasions and knocked down a 15-foot jumper, displaying solid mechanics in the process. While he didn’t do any of this on a consistent basis, for a variety of reasons, it would not be accurate to say that he’s completely clueless offensively at this point in time.

Well...

…if he has “a 15-foot jumper with solid mechanics”, that’s a bit more than what Dwight has.

Not that it matters. A 15-foot jumper is a stupid shot, and nobody should take it. (And if Orton does have the foot speed to play the 4, which I still doubt, it doesn’t stretch the floor enough.)

I'm sorry...WHAT>?

I can tell by your statement that you’re one of these stat or advanced stat junkies. Unfortunately basketball isn’t mathematics, and strict statements like that are never correct. A 15 foot jumper is not a stupid shot in every circumstance.

First off, if you’re wide open, it is a very efficient shot. It is a free throw range. Should Nash never shoot a wide open shot from the free throw line? What about Ray Allen? The guy is like 90% from the free throw line for his career, but he should never take a wide open 15 foot shot?

Secondly, and this is the important part which statistics or advanced statistics can never fully grasp. A 15 foot shot is what opens up other parts of your game. If everyone just drove all the time then defense would be rather easy. Just sag off the guy and take the charge. Why would anyone ever go for a pump fake? A jumper opens up your game for different things.

These are just two instances but there are many others. There is more to basketball than just looking at stats.

by plyka on Jun 25, 2010 11:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nope.

I agree that there are times when it turns out to be the best option. If the clock is running down, for example. If you’re completely wide open, have time to set your feet, but don’t have a clear path to get to the hoop. Sometimes it’s the shot you have, and you probably shouldn’t have gotten yourself into that situation, but there you are.

But for me, a post guy standing 15 feet out isn’t “this is the shot that turned up”, a post guy standing 15 feet out is “I’m trying for the 15-footer.” A guy like Orton isn’t going to drive face-up. If he gets the ball at the top of the key, he has two options — shoot it or pass it. And nobody’s said Orton is a great passer.

Yeah, i was exaggerating a little. What I should have said was, “A 15-foot jumper is a relatively inefficient shot, and while there are times when you can’t get a better shot, you should never go into a play with one as your primary goal.”

20-foot jumpers = still stupid, though.

Fifteen-footers aren’t that bad but if they’re 20 feet or your feet are on the 3-pt line, you may as well make them 3-pointers instead.

Not more than a bit.

There are a few guys who should take the 15-foot jumper if they’re completely open. (But how did they get completely open? In the middle of the court like that? If you’re taking a 15-footer, odds are either you’re doing some kind of spin or fadeaway, which almost invariably makes it less than a 50% shot.)

I'm not dissing this kid at all.

But I just have to believe this is part of a deal. If you were to look at a list of our needs going into this draft and free agency period, center was at the bottom of that list. Otis must feel that he is going to move Gortat or that Orton could be a piece in a possible trade. I also think that Brandon Bass is involved in this somehow. Basically I expect a lot of shuffling in our big guys in the next few weeks. I would assume that if we keep Orton that it will be to fill a gap left by Gortat who will be used in a trade to get a piece at one of the positions we are needing.

…does not have the size you look for in an NBA Center, and despite his power and wingspan, he is not the type of athlete that can match up to physical inside pounding for long stretches… seemed to regress as a scorer last year, losing confidence in his mid-range jumper.

But they also did say he has large, soft hands and excellent scoring touch inside (13 dunks off 45 offensive boards).

I'd seen Orton as NO's pick for mock drafts for a couple of weeks now

especially with how they traded cole aldrich to dump salary, it would make a lot of sense for us to draft him so they would have to pay less and include him in a trade. To me that’s the most likely scenario. Vince, Jameer, and the rights to Orton for CP3 and James Posey possibly.

Wondering why the Magic didn't draft PG Armon Johnson from Nevada

…he went number 34 to Portland, and cbssports.com gave the Blazers an “A” because they said Johnson could be an ideal backup NBA PG.

No outside shot, unremarkable handles. He was mostly a slasher in college, and we all know what happens to slashing PGs in the NBA.

I like the Orton pick...He was projected to go much higher in most mock drafts.

He’s young and can be brought along slowly. He’ll get better everyday just playing against Dwight Howard. Most teams passed on him because of some potential knee problems. He made very poor choices when it came to his draft process (didn’t hire an agent, worked out poorly with injury, etc.). But he was the most talented player left on the board when the Magic picked. He might not have been their first choice. But at #29, who could’ve been better?

I feel like "non-championship college team" is a bit weasely.

I mean, a) Kentucky was clearly the best team in college basketball this year. No offense to Duke, but the NCAA’s silly one-off tournament system doesn’t prove much of anything.

And b) how about "an injured freshman who can’t get a lot of playing time over DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson can’t be all that good, can he?" Is that a defensible statement?

Orton's a project, but not a bad pick at 29 in this draft.

Gortat was a project when he arrived, too.

With the way trades have happened over the last 24 hours, remember Orton could be gone by training camp. Just sit tight. We’re okay either way.

Yahoo! Sports says that Robinson is not a scoring option...

…because he is not effective at creating his own shot, but can connect with his mid-range jumper and from the perimeter (35.1% three point shooter), but that he takes too many three point shots.

Yahoo also says that Robinson needs to bulk up to play PF at the NBA level, but has struggled in the past to maintain weight and needs to be versed in weight training.
