- Chet Holmgren selected at No 2 by Oklahoma City Thunder
- Houston Rockets grab Jabari Smith Jr at No 3
- As it happened: Hunter Felt’s pick-by-pick report
The Orlando Magic took Paolo Banchero first overall in the NBA draft at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Thursday, with Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren going to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Auburn forward Jabari Smith headed to the Houston Rockets.
Banchero, who averaged 17.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 39 starts in his one year at Duke, will look to turn around a lackluster Magic after their 22-60 season.
