12. Orlando Magic – Rodney Hood, Duke

Pick made by Zach Oliver

After selecting Dante Exum fourth, the Magic will undoubtedly be looking for a shooter. Draft Hood here fills a need, and gives them another scoring option off the bench, or that they could insert into the starting lineup. Hood has one of, if not the, smoothest offensive games in this draft. His ability to not only knock down shots spotting up, but also create is something that the Magic desperately need as well. He’s got questions defensively, but with some hard work, Hood can become more than serviceable on that end of the floor.
