4. Orlando Magic Select Jayson Tatum, SF, Duke
Age: 19 (March 3, 1998)
Size: 6-foot-8, 205 pounds
Tatum's last college game was one to forget: 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting, three rebounds, one assist, five turnovers and five fouls in an upset loss to South Carolina. But don't read too much into it. Another former Blue Devil, Jabari Parker, had a similar collegiate finale (14 points on 4-of-14 shooting, seven rebounds, four turnovers) and he ended up fine.
At the end of the day, Tatum is a polished offensive player whose amalgam of size, shooting and high skill level will allow him to contribute right away. That's exactly what the Magic need, as they have some nice pieces but rank 29th in offensive rating. (Getty)
