Orlando Magic NBA Draft Picks 2023: Full list of players drafted by the team

The 2023 NBA Draft has arrived and here is the full list of players drafted by the Orlando Magic.

1) Orlando Magic - Anthony Black (Guard, Arkansas Razorbacks)

Selected sixth overall, Anthony Black averaged 12.8 points per game (45.3% shooting, including 30.1% from 3-point range) and 5.06 rebounds in his college career. He is a 6-foot-7 guard who completed one year with the Arkansas Razorbacks.

With 39 inches vertical on lock, Anthony Black can obviously elevate with the best of them, but he is more than just a high-vertical player. Anthony Black has the upside to be one of the best playmakers at the half-court with his vision, while also utilizing his speed at the offensive end.

During his time with the Arkansas Razorbacks, Black averaged 2.1 steals per game which showcases his tenacity at the defensive end. He could be a nice addition to the Magic's young roster as a developmental piece.

2) Orlando Magic - Jett Howard (Guard Michigan Wolverines)

Selected 11th overall, Jett Howard averaged 14.2 ppg (41.4% shooting, including 36.8% from 3-point range) with the Michigan Wolverines. He is listed as a 6-8 guard who can hit shots from the perimeter, especially from 3-point range. He played just one season with Michigan.

Being the son of Michigan Wolverines head coach Juwan Howard, the maturity and basketball IQ is evident in how his son plays on the court. With the poise Jett Howard plays, especially at the offensive end, he is able to generate looks and help with the team's spacing.

Howard can be an important piece with the Magic as the NBA has emphasized the importance of playing with quality spacing against other teams.

Orlando Magic President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman on the 2023 NBA Draft Selections Made

President of basketball operations for the Orlando Magic, Jeff Weltman spoke following the draft about the two rookies drafted by the organization.

As included in Mike Bianchi's article for Yahoo Sports' "Orlando Sentinel," Weltman praised Anthony Black's potential to play in the professional league.

“Anthony is one of the smartest players in the draft, maybe the smartest," Weltman said. "We feel like he has an elite level understanding of the game. … And he’s a worker. He’s tough. He’s competitive. He’s aggressive. He doesn’t take a plays off. I think our fans are really going to love the way he gets into the ball.”

Regarding Jett Howard, Weltman mentioned that he has the potential to go beyond the scouting reports placed on him as he enters the NBA.

“The hidden thing about Jett is that he played most of the season injured [ankle] and we believe there’s more to Jett than he was able to show,” Weltman said. “Jett is more than just a shooter.”

It is yet to be determined if these players will remain long enough with Orlando Magic as trades are bound to be made around the league in this year's offseason.
