2017 NBA Draft: 5 best fits for Malik Monk

4. Orlando Magic

The Magic has a rough season finishing 29-53 and clocking in at No. 6 in June’s NBA Draft. Orlando needs help at nearly every position so their front office is likely going to select the best player available on their board later this month. In terms of shooting guards, they have Evan “never Google” Fournier and Terrence Ross, whom they acquired via trade this past year. As a team they finished 29th in terms of 3-point percentage at a paltry 32.8. Their top marksman, Jodie Meeks, is a free agent and guys they expected to step up did not.

Fournier took a big step back this season hitting 35.6 percent from distance, which is the lowest mark of his five-year career. Last season he was a blistering 40 percent from 3 with 156 makes. This season he dropped down to 128 made 3s, but the more concerning dip is the efficiency. Ross split his season between Toronto and Orlando and combined to hit 36.1 percent of his 3s, but in 24 games with Orlando that number was just 34.1.

Clearly Malik Monk would bring a much-needed skill to this franchise with his ability to knock down 3s in bunches, however the problem here is a logjam at his position. Fournier is signed through the next four seasons and Ross for the next two, so opportunities could be few and far between for an enigmatic shooter who needs time on the court. The other concern with Orlando is that Monk would be forced to playmake more as they lack other creators on the wing. Fournier and Ross are both generally spot-up shooters, so adding another similar player might not be the right move at No. 6.
