The Magic drafted J.J. Redick with the No. 11 pick in the 2006 draft. Here are six players who were available:
Pick Team Player Pos. The Buzz
13 Philadelphia 76ers Thabo Sefolosha G Swiss shooter was traded to the Bulls and rode pine until recent firing of coach Scott Skiles gave him opportunity.
14 Utah Jazz Ronnie Brewer SG/SF Arkansas product is a slasher who averages almost 12 ppg and makes more than 50 percent of his field-goal attempts.
21 Phoenix Suns Rajon Rondo PG He was traded to the Celtics and looks good surrounded by Boston's stars, but would he have solved point-guard inconsistency or added to it in Orlando?
23 New Jersey Nets Josh Boone C Now a starter who averages almost 8 points and 7 rebounds per game, but at the time, Magic had high hopes for Darko Milicic.
26 L.A. Lakers Jordan Farmar PG Former UCLA star is valuable bench contributor, using all the attention given to Kobe Bryant to average almost 9.2 ppg.
47 Utah Jazz Paul Millsap PF Every team missed on this high-energy enforcer from Louisiana Tech, but the Magic missed him in both first and 2nd rounds.
