Draft Review: Orlando Magic

First Round
Victor Oladipo, SG Indiana (2)
The Magic are trying to completely revamp their roster and turn around the culture brought about by players like Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu. Victor Oladipo is the opposite of those players, a hardworking, high motor player who brings it every night and works daily to get better. He is a versatile defender and efficient scorer who needs some polish on that end but could be special on both ends of the floor. This pick also increases the chances Arron Afflalo is traded.

Second Round
Romero Osby, PF Oklahoma (51)
A pick 51, it's hard to argue with any pick, especially for the Magic who already have young talent up and down their roster. Romero Osby is undersized and no explosive, but he is tough and plays hard. He'll likely be an end of the bench guy and summer league player, but he will bring toughness to Orlando practices.

Projected Rotation
PG: Jameer Nelson/Beno Udrih
SG: Arron Afflalo/Victor Oladipo
SF: Tobias Harris/Maurice Harkless
PF: Glen Davis/Andrew Nicholson
C: Nikola Vucevic/Kyle O'Quinn
