Chuma Okeke Selected By Magic
5 years agoAuburn Tigers power forward Chuma Okeke was taken by the Orlando Magic with the 16th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Okeke averaged 12 points and 6.8 boards last year in college. Also last season Okeke had 1.2 blocks and 1.8 steals a contest. The value of Okeke will be solely dependent on what happens with Magic center Nikola Vucevic. Vucevic is a free agent and if he resigns with the Magic Okeke will be the second big off the bench for the Magic. But if Vucevic signs with another team Okeke would be their first big man off the bench and be a decent fantasy value in deeper dynasty leagues as he provides production in multiple categories. With Okeke's future up in the air, it would be wise for fantasy players don't select him in redraft leagues as he doesn't have a defined role.
