The Magic win the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery, the Thunder land at No. 2, and the Kings climb into the top four.
The Magic have now won the No. 1 overall pick four times, second only to the Cleveland Cavaliers during the lottery era.

Magic: Jabari Smith Jr., F, Auburn
Smith is by far the youngest of the top prospects, and he possesses a unique set of positive traits, including superb positional size, elite jump shooting, modern defensive versatility, and an advanced competitive mindset. Smith’s repertoire of moves will have to be expanded, and he’ll have to improve on getting to the rim more frequently, but there’s a lot to appreciate about a player who is polished in so many ways while still being in the early stages of his basketball.
