4 Draft Prospects Orlando Magic fans should know
Other Options
Johnny Davis, Wisconsin
A talented scoring shooting guard who has burst onto the scene for Wisconsin in his sophomore year, averaging 22.3 points per game compared with 7.0 points per game during his freshman year. He can drive to the basket or shoot from three — making 36.5-percent of his shots from beyond the arc this season. But he is not the quickest and needs to get better at creating for others.
A.J. Griffin, Duke
A.J. Griffin is a powerful wing player who can shoot the ball well. He possesses great athleticism too. Griffin has tons of two-way potential with his ability to read the game and defend on the ball with a 7-foot wingspan. He has a good handle and has shown he can create his own shot off the dribble. Most of the concern with him is because of his injury history.
Jalen Duren, Memphis
Jalen Duren is a big man who is a bit of a throwback center with his paint-oriented game. The Memphis big man is a good shot blocker and rebounder who could become a really effective defender in the NBA but lacks the offensive versatility to have much of an impact on the other end of the floor.
Bennedict Mathurin, Arizona
Bennedict Mathurin is an exciting wing prospect with strong three-point shooting ability. He has boosted his scoring from 10.8 points per game in his freshman year to 17.5 points per game this season.

Jaden Hardy, G-League Ignite
Jaden Hurdy is a guard with the G-League Ignite who flashes ability as an advanced shot creator but has been very inefficient this season and needs to vastly improve his decision-making.
