Making the Case: Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic are precisely where they were expected this season – at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. During its rebuild, Orlando drafted well, which added some young prospects to build around.
Horton-Tucker can fit the bill right away. He entered the league as an 18-year-old with great promise. He has three years under his belt and is still a bit raw. He has not had a chance to play extended minutes in Los Angeles.
Horton-Tucker has great size and strength. He is the type of player that will improve quickly with a more significant role.
This is what could happen in Orlando. Horton-Tucker is not much of a shooter, but he can get to the basket and defend at a high level. With Suggs and Anthony in the backcourt, Horton-Tucker would take over at small forward and solidify the core.

The Orlando Magic have a long way to go if they want to get back to the postseason. Horton-Tucker can help take the young core to another level if they can get a deal done.
