Orlando Magic 2010 Draft Preview
Basketball Betting Lines
06/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Magic are clearly one of the most skilled teams in the NBA but seem to lack the requisite toughness to get over the top.
I'm not sure you can correct that in the draft and you certainly can't do it at No. 29, where Orlando will be selecting.
Dwight Howard is the key and needs to start intimidating more since players like Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis are never going to knock people around. Carter, meanwhile, is also no longer the feared scorer he was in Toronto so the Magic need to start developing a plan for his eventual replacement.
UConn's Stanley Robinson, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound small forward has a nasty streak and can run the floor and finish, although he lacks a top-tier jumper Gani Lawal, the Georgia Tech power forward, could also help improve the team's toughness.
Players under contract: C Dwight Howard; G Vince Carter; C Marcin Gortat; F Rashard Lewis; G Jameer Nelson; F Mickael Pietrus; F Brandon Bass; F Ryan Anderson; F Matt Barnes.
Free agents: G J.J. Redick (restricted); G Anthony Johnson (unrestricted)
Draft picks: 1st round (29th overall); 2nd round (59th overall)
