6. Orlando Magic make one selection in the top 15
Entering the upcoming 2021 NBA Draft, there are a few teams that have multiple first-round picks due to a variety of reasons. The Magic have two first-round selections in their pocket, with their earliest pick being the No. 5 overall pick.
There’s a good chance that Orlando has an idea of who they want with the fifth-overall pick, making it likely they stay put unless they are blown away by a trade offer.
However, their second first-round pick is the No. 8 overall selection, which came from the Chicago Bulls as part of the Nikola Vucevic trade. While the Magic could add another young player to their roster, they choose to trade the eighth-overall pick to acquire more draft assets in the future.
At the same time, Orlando could move the No. 8 pick for a proven player that can expedite their goal of becoming a playoff contender in the Eastern Conference.
