Ivan Rabb’s sophomore season for the California Bears was nothing short of disappointing. He betted on himself having a stunning second season, unfortunately what actually happened was a far cry from what scouts and himself expected.

Rabb failed to show any significant improvements in his game, not even the range of his shots, now he’s paying the price for that. In the 2016 NBA Draft Rabb would’ve easily been at top 10 pick, now, some believe he may not even crack the first round. Unfortunately that’s the risk you take, it just didn’t work in Rabb’s favor.

With the Magic already adding a versatile forward, picking a power froward may not be the best move. However, with combo forward, Jeff Green coming off the books this summer the Magic will need to rebuild it’s depth at the forward positions.
