Jabari Smith is likely to be picked at this spot by this team in the NBA Draft on Friday, in Brooklyn.
Jabari Smith wasn’t in everyone’s mind to go among the top picks in the NBA Draft 2022 when the NCAA tournament started. The way he showcased his skill set during the entire college season, was quite tremendous.
When the whole focus was on Paolo Banchero, and Chet Holmgreen, Jabari Smith from Auburn emerged as one of the best players in the country at the college level.
He is ready to enter the NBA and has drawn comparisons with the likes of Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, and Klay Thompson. The Auburn player has a high motor and pure jump shot. Jabari is 6’10 tall and weighs 220 pounds. He has a perfect NBA body to play at the Power Forward position and is expected to make an instant impact in the league.
- Jabari Smith is expected to be drafted by the Orlando Magic, with the 1st overall pick.
Is Jabari Smith a perfect fit for the Orlando Magic?
The Orlando Magic are well equipped with quality guards on their roster. They already have the likes of Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony, and Markelle Fultz. As a result, the team needs a player like Jabar Smith.
Jabari can pair up with Franz Wagner, who they drafted last year to form a formidable front court for their future. Franz Wagner played quite well last season, and if Jabari lives up to his potential, the Magic could be a very dangerous team pretty soon.
