2015 NBA Draft Lottery: Best, Worst, and Most Surprising Picks
Was Justise Winslow a steal at 10th overall? And which picks may not be good fits?

Best Fit

Mario Hezonja, Orlando Magic, 5th Overall

Hezonja was one of the most intriguing prospects in this draft, a super-athletic wing coming from FC Barcelona. The Magic already have a solid starting backcourt in Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton, but neither of those two can shoot a lick; Oladipo made about 34 percent of his shots from deep last year, while Payton hit just 26 percent from deep as a rookie.

Hezonja should change that right away after shooting 39 percent from deep in Spain last year. He can operate as explosive attacker, too, one who will give a bit of attitude to the Orlando wing rotation as well, an added plus for a team that only hit 53.4 percent of its shot within 10 feet last year.
