Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a great rookie year with the Los Angeles Clippers.
CBS Sports has redrafted the 2018 NBA Draft and SGA has moved up to #6 and the Orlando Magic.

PPG 10.8,APG 3.3,SPG 1.2, 3P/G .6
Actual pick: Mohamed BambaAfter posting the largest wingspan in the history of the NBA combine, Bamba was underwhelming in a rookie season cut short by injury. If the Magic would have known they’d improve to a playoff team behind an All-Star year from Nikola Vucevic, they might have drafted someone more NBA ready. Gilgeous-Alexander fits the bill, as we saw him become a critical member of a deep and talented Clippers squad. Orlando’s point guard troubles have been well noted over the years, so locking in someone like SGA as a versatile floor leader who thrives on both ends of the floor would have been a prudent move.
