In this NBA mock draft, Kelcey Wright Johnson and Khobi Price discusses the team’s needs and draft strategy of the Orlando Magic, with the 11th pick selecting Grady Dick out of Kansas. The pick was based on his shooting ability and the Magic’s need for perimeter shooting, which has been a struggle for them in recent years. Grady Dick is known for his shooting but also possesses good passing skills and playmaking ability. While he may have some limitations on the defensive end, his size and length make him a viable team defender. The Magic are looking to add more talent to their young roster, and Grady Dick’s shooting and offensive contributions make him a valuable pick at this spot. Other players considered for the pick were Kobe Buffkin from Michigan and Cason Wallace from Kentucky, but the pathway for Grady’s success and fit with the team seemed more favorable.
