NBA Mock Draft: Pre-Draft Lottery Edition 3.0
By Jacob Rude
12. Orlando Magic – Adreian Payne, F, Michigan State
This is one of two picks the Magic will have in the draft lottery, with the other likely being much higher up. With this pick, they could look to add depth, and Payne’s stock is flying. A perfect stretch four, Payne could help add spacing in the paint, freeing up space for Vucevic to work in the paint.
11. Denver Nuggets – Tyler Ennis, G, Syracuse
The Nuggets were at the benefit of the Knicks struggles, reaping the good that came along with the Knicks bad, and it was really bad. As a result, they’re lottery pick this year can help them gain some depth. As is, Ty Lawson could be the lone point guard on the roster with Aaron Brooks‘ contract expiring and Nate Robinson having a player option. Ennis isn’t a highly-touted prospect, but he could fit a hole the Nuggets will likely have.
