The Orlando Magic have been on the clock for 37 days.
Tonight, they finally make the first pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
It’s widely expected to be Jabari Smith, but that is not set in stone, especially with Chet Holmgren possessing a skill set and wingspan that likely have the Magic brass salivating.
As team boards finalize today, the 1-2-3 of the NBA Draft is increasingly firm, per sources: Jabari Smith to Orlando, Chet Holmgren to Oklahoma City and Paolo Banchero to Houston.

The Magic have already been active on draft day, sending one of their two second-round picks to the Los Angeles Lakers for a future second-round pick and cash.
