Genuine question as he’s pretty much only playing garbage time through 4 games. Seems kind of weird for a young team to not play their 6th overall pick

I never understood the pick even on draft night as he seemed like a poor fit with the roster given his lack of shooting but can Magic fans explain?

All of Orlando’s guards are small. Big PGs are in vogue and putting a 6”4 guy vs someone like Cade Cunningham is a terrible decision for a team trying to build a winner. They can’t afford to waste their #1 pick in Paolo by not getting their backcourt right and while they probably like what they have currently they desperately need more size.
