Mock draft: Who will Magic select with Nos. 6 and 11 picks?

The 2023 NBA draft is in 1½ weeks away, meaning the Orlando Magic will soon be put on the clock to make their selections.

With the Magic having the Nos. 6 and 11 picks, in addition to a second-round pick at No. 36, Orlando is the only team with multiple lottery selections.

But they’ll have to wait on what the teams ahead of them do to see who’s available.

Because the draft isn’t until June 22, teams still have time to interview prospects, host workouts and use those meetings to gather intel and finalize their draft boards ahead of when they make their picks.

Here’s how the lottery portion of the draft could play out, including the Magic’s first-round picks:

1. San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama (Metropolitans 92 — France)

This is by far the easier selection of the draft.

Wembanyama is viewed as a generational prospect and will be the centerpiece of what the Spurs build their team around.

2. Charlotte Hornets: Brandon Miller (Alabama)

The No. 2 pick is expected to come down to Miller or Scoot Henderson.

While Henderson and Charlotte guard LaMelo Ball could complement one another, Miller would be a more seamless fit from Day 1 and would fill a need on the wings for the Hornets.

3. Portland Trail Blazers: Scoot Henderson (G League Ignite)

The Blazers likely will try to trade this pick to get immediate veteran help with which to surround All-NBA guard Damian Lillard.

Regardless of who makes this pick, it’s hard seeing a prospect as talented as Henderson falling outside the top three.

4. Houston Rockets: Amen Thompson (Overtime Elite)

Amen will likely be the first Thompson twin drafted, with the Rockets betting on Amen’s tools to develop the skillset of an athletic two-way ball-handling wing he has the potential to become.

His fit with the Rockets may come into question if James Harden rejoins Houston in free agency — a possibility that’s been rumored. But Amen’s upside may be too high for the Rockets to pass up.

5. Detroit Pistons: Cam Whitmore (Villanova)

Whitmore is an athletic shot-creating wing who has the tools to be a high-level scorer.

He also has the potential to be a high-level defender.

Whitmore needs to show significant improvements as a passer and on-ball decision-maker, but the backcourt of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey could carry the playmaking load as Whitmore develops that area of his game.

6. Orlando Magic: Ausar Thompson (Overtime Elite)

Ausar has long-term upside as a creator — which will ultimately determine his ceiling — offensively and a game-changing defender. He can be a two-way connecting wing because of his experience playing off the ball.

The development of his perimeter jump shot will determine how well he can fit alongside Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, but the potential of what he can be may be too good for Orlando to pass on.

7. Indiana Pacers: Jarace Walker (Houston)

Walker is a strong, physical and switchable defender who should be able to space the floor offensively at the NBA level.

He could be a good fit alongside Myles Turner on a Pacers team in need of frontcourt help.

8. Washington Wizards: Anthony Black (Arkansas)

Black is a jumbo guard who could provide high-level playmaking with versatile defense and be a connector on both ends.

His perimeter shooting is a question mark, as is his ability to consistently create shots for himself off the bounce, but he should be able to play whatever role a veteran-led Wizards team would ask of him from the jump.

9. Utah Jazz: Taylor Hendricks (UCF)

Hendricks is one of the most versatile frontcourt defenders in this draft class and should have significant 3-point shooting versatility.

A potential dynamic and jumbo frontcourt of Hendricks, Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler would be compelling for Utah.

10. Dallas Mavericks: Dereck Lively II (Duke)

Whether the Mavericks — a team coming off a disappointing season that’s looking to make the playoffs next year — make a selection with this pick remains to be seen.

Lively’s athleticism and ability to deter shots at the rim would be a good fit for Dallas at No. 10 or if they traded back and drafted him.

11. Orlando Magic: Gradey Dick (Kansas)

Dick could be considered the best shooting prospect in this draft class and is more than just a shooter — he’s a good playmaker/passer and offensive off-ball threat.

He has a lot of areas of improvement on defense and isn’t a consistent one-on-one/self-creating scoring threat but he’d fill a need for Orlando at this spot.

12. Oklahoma City Thunder: Bilal Coulibaly (Metropolitans 92)

Coulibaly is an athletic, lanky wing who could develop into a high-level defender and has shown notable offensive potential.

The Thunder, who already have a young core in place and significant draft picks moving forward, can take a swing at a high-upside prospect.

13. Toronto Raptors: Cason Wallace (Kentucky)

Wallace was a disruptive defender in college and has the potential to be elite there in th½½e NBA.

He has a solid offensive foundation and could provide Toronto with much-needed guard depth, and eventually become a quality starting guard regardless of Fred VanVleet’s free-agency decisions.

14. New Orleans Pelicans: Kobe Bufkin (Michigan)

Bufkin brings a lot of offensive versatility and should be a solid defender at the next level.

The Pelicans are in need of a quality guard who can handle a playmaking load while also being able to complement their top players when healthy.
