5. Orlando Magic: Jayson Tatum, SF, Duke
Age: 19 (March 3, 1998)
Size: 6-foot-8, 205 pounds
Speaking of offensive struggles, the Magic weren't much better than Philly, finishing the season 29th in offensive rating, 29th in effective field-goal percentage and 29th in three-point percentage. Hey, at least they were consistent in being second-worst at everything.
Not only does Tatum bring ideal size (6-foot-8 with a 6-foot-11 wingspan) to the small forward position, but he's a polished offensive player who can score from all three levels. ESPN's Chad Ford pegs him as a potential dark horse for the No. 1 pick, and while that may be pushing it a little bit, his advanced offensive game will certainly allow him to help Orlando right away.
