4. Orlando Magic: Jayson Tatum, PF, Duke
Age: 19 (March 3, 1998)
Size: 6-foot-8, 205 pounds
The Magic rank 29th in the NBA in offensive rating, 28th in field-goal percentage and 27th in points per game. An offensive spark is desperately needed.
Enter Tatum, whose unique blend of size (6-foot-8 with a 6-foot-11 wingspan) and ability to score at all three levels makes him a potential matchup problem at the next level. Bigger defenders will struggle with his quickness on the perimeter, while smaller defenders won't be able to stop him from rising up and shooting over them. He's exactly what the Magic need a position they lack. (Getty)
