Other than the 2-for-1 they picked up in 2004 -- Dwight Howard and Jameer
Nelson --- the Magic have not had a memorable record in drafting since the
year 2000.
Maybe 2008's choice, shooting guard Courtney Lee, will change their luck.
2000 was the year the Magic selected Florida's Mike Miller --- a nice shooter
who's had a decent NBA career --- with their top pick.
Since then, the club's first-round picks look like this:
2001: Steven Hunter, Jeryl Sasser. Hunter became a serviceable big man,
Sasser a bewildering pick.
2002: Ryan Humphrey. See Sasser.
2003: Reece Gaines. See Sasser again.
2004: They used the No. 1 overall on Howard,and traded to pluck Nelson at
No. 20.
2005: Fran Vazquez. I'd say see Sasser, but at least Sasser showed up to camp.
2006: J.J. Redick. Decorated Dukie hasn't found a role.
2007: Traded pick to the Pistons, who used it to take promising Rodney
Stuckey.
2008: Lee.
Can Lee become the first rookie since the Howard-Nelson tag-team to
contribute?
Mention his name and the Magic will offer a cautious nod and smile.
They took him because he likes to play defense, and can shoot the 3. Heaven
knows the Magic need some defensive help in the backcourt.
Lee looked cool and impressive in summer league after the opening game, even
while guarding Kevin Durant. Then again, Redick had his summer-league moments
as well.
Lee, 6-5, will have to find a way to distinguish himself among a gaggle of
shooting guards that includes the newly acquired Mickael Pietrus, Keith
Bogans and Redick. Playing defense will be his ticket.
The Magic are quietly optimistic. If Lee does make noise, look for the Magic
to perhaps make a deal and move either Bogans or Redick, if possible.
