Could the Orlando Magic go back to the well and take another Duke player with their first-round pick?
ORLANDO — The Orlando Magic have found success with former Duke players Wendell Carter Jr. and All-Star forward Paolo Banchero. Could Orlando tap into that pipeline again with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft?
Filipowski racked up multiple accolades across his two seasons with the Blue Devils. He was a consensus All-American this season, made the All-ACC team twice, and was the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2022-23. The Duke center averaged 16.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in his sophomore season. Filipowski also flashed potential as a passer and outside shooter, averaging 2.8 assists per game and converting 34.8 percent of his 3-point attempts.
