Chuma Okeke was actually a solid pickup for the Orlando Magic, but they choose to go in a different direction in this re-draft. Instead, they select Eric Pascall with the sixteenth overall pick.
Despite not playing for the first year, Okeke played well last season. He’s a solid defender and alright shooter, but Pascall has emerged as the better prospect up to this point.
Paschall was a real bright spot for the Warriors in his rookie season as they dealt with a ton of injuries. He had a bit of a down year last season but still managed to produce solid numbers.
Golden State traded him away to the Utah Jazz this offseason, which should be great for his career. He could emerge as a real quality rotation player in Utah under their system.
The Magic are getting a solid power forward and great floor spacer in Paschall with this pick. He’s their selection at sixteen in this re-draft.
