Noah Penda to Orlando: How the Magic REVOLUTIONIZED Their Draft Approach

The Orlando Magic made another bold move and shook up the NBA Draft, trading up to take Noah Penda in the second round. The move may not be the one that propels the team into contention but the aggression to get their player is a certain sign the team is going for it.

Penda is a versatile wing that fits the Magic's DNA. It is clear why they identified him as a trade-up option. He is someone who can contribute on the defensive end and wants to add on that end.

The Magic have added a key player. But now their roster is incredibly tight as they enter free agency.
