ORLANDO DRAFTS TWO GUARDS

NBA Draft - Orlando Magic Picks
Pick	Player	College	Pos	Ht	Wt
RD 1 Pick 30	Cory Coleman	N.C. State	SG/PG	6'7"	214
Rd 2 Pick 30	Wayne Washington	Arkansas	PG/SG	6'1"	204

Orlando, FL (AP) - With both Jameer Nelson and Chris Duhon leaving the team, the Magic looked to pick up some depth at guard in the draft. They did just that by picking up a shooting guard and a point guard. With the last pick in the first round, Orlando took N.C. State standout Cory Coleman, a guard with some height. Coleman stands at 6'7", which should give him an advantage over a number of shooting guards in the league. He has a lot of work ahead of him to get any playing time, but there is some promise. Coleman has good speed and a decent jumper. He has had a tough time staying out of foul trouble in his college career.

With the last pick of the draft, Orlando selected Wayne Washington, a 6'1" point guard from Arkansas. This one will need a lot of work. His shot needs some work, and he needs to improve his ball handling skills if he's going to get any kind of time going against other point guards in this league. Washington has good speed and can shoot off the dribble at a decent clip. He's also a guard that likes to go on the attack and isn't afraid to work the pick and roll.

Overall, a couple of decent prospects, but right now, they are much more projects than anything else. Don't expect either guy to see a lot of playing time.
