PG: Elfrid Payton (NBA All Rookie First Team).... Averaged 9 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds as a rookie.
SG: Victor Oladipo... Averaged 18 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds per game
SF: Tobias Harris... Averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists per game
PF: ?
C: Nikola Vucevic... Averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds per game

Who would you take at #5 as the Magic? They took Aaron Gordon last year. They picked up Channing Frye... But they obviously lack production at the PF spot.

I say take Myles Turner from Texas and call it a day.
 
Assuming Towns, Okafor, Alexander, and Mudiay go 1-4, I'd take Porzingis. I'd be intrigued by WCS as well, but it might be a tad high.

They just don't need Stein... they are set at the "C" position with Vucevic, who puts up great numbers. Turner has a great jumpshot, is 7 feet tall, hits 80% free throws, and seems to have a lot of potential as a "PF" in the NBA.
 
Turner is not a top 5 talent. Winslow has dropped a little due to his height but he's the best talent of the guys who will be around after Mudiay & Russell.

WCS could guard any position on the floor in the NCAA, and could certainly guard the 4 and 5 positions in the NBA. He's going to be an elite defender in the NBA, and could easily give 15-20 quality minutes a game as a rookie. Is he going to be a super-star? Probably not, which is why I said it's a tad high. He's a great addition, though.

Guys like Winslow and Johnson aren't great if we're assuming best case scenario for the given roster either, as they already drafted Oladipo and Gordon. I'm not sure about Mudiay with Payton, either.

Porzingis is the guy if what I'm hearing is right.
