The Orlando Magic had two picks in the 2021 NBA draft and they selected Jalen Suggs of Gonzaga (fifth) and Franz Wagner of Michigan (eighth). It's safe to say the organization was blessed with the opportunity of having two lottery picks in one draft.

This will definitely boost the Magic's rebuilding process after it was derailed last season after Markelle Fultz' injury, as well as the departure of Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic via trade.

Whether their picks truly jumpstart the rebuilding process or not is a matter of wait-and-see. We need to wait for the regular season to come up with a better conclusion. But for the sake of it, let's rate the picks for the Magic, particularly their fit with the current roster.

Magic 2021 NBA draft

5th pick, Jalen Suggs: A

It's not a shock that Jalen Suggs is the fifth overall pick. Some say Cade Cunningham is the best playmaker in the draft class. But no one will disagree that Suggs is a very close second. The 6-foot-4 Gonzaga standout is great in transition that would add more versatility to the Magic's offense. Not only is he a good finisher, but he can dart passes even in the tightest spaces. Some may be bothered with his size in terms of defense. However, Suggs has excellent lateral movement and good hands. Off the ball, he has great anticipation and uses it to disrupt passing lanes.

This will be good in uplifting the Magic defense which was among the worst last season. Apart from this, many scouts believe that Suggs' willingness to take on a leadership role is his greatest asset. Not many prospects carry the same mindset that Suggs has. This shows how mentally ready and mature the guard is.

The only reason why we cannot give this pick an A+ is the fact that the Magic are already loaded with point guards. Lest we forget, they have Markelle Fultz who's been playing nicely after his injury-riddled days with the Philadelphia 76ers. And when he went down with an ACL tear, Anthony Cole was the one who stepped up to fill the void.

Suggs will definitely have a place in the Magic in his first year in the league. But head coach Jamahl Mosley will have trouble balancing Suggs and Anthony's playing time. Both excel when they play the point guard spot — their natural position. Mosley will need to come up with a good rotation plan to maximize the guards' talents.

8th pick, Franz Wagner: A+

Defense is Wagner's greatest asset. The 6-foot-9 forward has the lateral quickness and physicality to guard multiple positions competitively. What's best about Wagner is that he enjoy playing defense and is energized after getting stops. It would be foolish to put Wagner in pick-and-roll situations. He knows how to defend it very well, often getting deflections or steals which turn into transition baskets. Apart from his diligence, Wagner is also a smart defensive player as he's never late in his rotations. This is very important in the pro levels as even experienced players have trouble being at the right place at the right time on defense. Wagner already has a great understanding of how team defense works as a rookie.

There are lots of things to polish in his offensive game such as his ball-handling, ability to create his own shots, and finishing. He'll definitely spend some extra time ironing this out. Over the next few years, Magic fans will see some improvement in this aspect of his game. As such, we may not see him become a critical part of the offense — at least not yet. However, he will be a key part of the Magic's defense even in his first year.
