The Orlando Magic selected Gonzaga power forward Domantas Sabonis with the No. 11 overall pick of the 2016 NBA draft on Thursday night. Player profile: Age: 20 (sophomore) Height/weight: 6-foot-10, 238 pounds 2015-16 stats: 17.6 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 1.8 APG
Chad Ford's Big Board ranking -- No. 10: "Sabonis is tough, rebounds, passes well and does the little things that help teams win. He's not a great athlete, nor a great defender, but the Grizzlies have had a lot of success with Zach Randolph in the past. Sabonis has some of that potential." More (Insider) Kevin Pelton's stats and scouting ranking -- No. 23: "The question with Sabonis is whether he can stretch the floor as a power forward or protect the rim well enough to play in the middle."
