There aren’t usually too many surprises in the NBA draft these days, but Thursday night started with a major upset as the Orlando Magic selected Duke forward Paolo Banchero with the No. 1 pick. in the general classification. For weeks, they were expected to kick Jabari Smith out of Auburn, and it’s still unclear if it was all just an elaborate smokescreen or if they changed their minds at the last minute.

The Magic reportedly never hosted Banchero for formal training or an interview in Orlando, suggesting it could be the latter.

Either way, the Oklahoma City Thunder then took big man Chet Holmgren out of Gonzaga as planned, while the Houston Rockets went with Smith to round out the top three. The Rockets likely had Banchero planned, but Smith should still fit in well as a sharp shooting forward to partner Jalen Green.

Of course, no draft could be complete without the Sacramento Kings doing something out of the box, and they took Keegan Murray with the No. 4 pick despite almost every prediction suggesting Purdue’s Jaden Ivey was the clear fourth-best. player. Maybe they really believe in Murray, or maybe they were hesitant to take guard with their first choice for the third year in a row.
