The Lottery balls fell in the right order for the Orlando Magic, which earned the top pick for the fourth time in franchise history. Interestingly enough, Orlando has used its top picks all on big men, and pretty successful ones at that: Dwight Howard (2004), Chris Webber (1993), and Shaquille O’Neal (1992).

NBA betting on the draft is now a pretty big deal, and there's several markets available at DraftKings, including First Overall Pick Odds.

Here’s where the Magic could be looking with that top pick on June 23:

Jabari Smith, PF (-275)

Smith was the odds-on favorite two months ago and saw a massive improvement in his NBA odds in early June, vaulting to the top of this list at -430 odds. He's since settled back down to -275 but it’s not difficult to see why he remains the presumptive first pick. He’s one of the youngest players in the class, he’s an elite shooter at 6-foot-10, and has outstanding defensive versatility.

As far as his fit in Orlando, he’d pair perfectly next to Wendell Carter ($50 million extension) and Mo Bamba, who should still be seen as a core piece. With Jonathan Isaac needing to overcome some serious injuries (he hasn’t played since January 2020), there’s a need on the wing and it's one that Smith would fill with ease. At this point, it’d be a shock if Smith wasn’t the top pick.

Paolo Banchero, PF (+275)

There was a time when Paolo Banchero was a serious candidate to go first overall. The freshman All-American is the top playmaker in the class, can score at all three levels, and has an NBA-ready body. He’s everything teams are looking for in a franchise player, though there are question marks about his defense, and his upside perhaps isn’t as high as Smith and Holmgren.

Though the Magic are in desperate need of a player with Banchero’s skillset (Orlando was 20th in assists and 29th in points), Smith offers much more upside for a franchise that needs it. The recent draft buzz around Banchero has improved his odds from +1800 all the way up to +275, vaulting him above Holmgren, but it would still be a significant shock to see him taken before Smith at No. 1.
