38. <p>D’Angelo Russell might be the most pro-ready guard in the NBA this year. His court vision allows him to get out in transition and make the right play. At Ohio State, we got a small taste of the creativity Russell possesses that allows him to use his skills to make his teammates better.</p>
<p>With the Magic, he will play shooting guard alongside Elfrid Payton, which would eventually push Victor Oladipo to small forward. But both Oladipo and Russell are long, athletic, and fierce defenders who will create turnovers and push the ball to get easy bucket after easy bucket.</p>
<p>These three playing next to one another would be scary for any team who relies on perimeter passing in their half court offense. Drafting Russell would give the Magic so much depth at the shooting guard and small forward positions that it will be hard to pass up on.</p>. PG. Ohio State. D'Angelo Russell. 5. player
