NBA Draft 2012: Latest Mock Has Orlando Magic Taking Arnett Moultrie And Darrion Pellum

The NBA Draft is nearing, and the speculative mock drafts continue to come in. The latest mock comes from Sheridan Hoops where staff writer Joe Kotoch compiled a two-round draft prediction.

As for who he feels will fall to the Orlando Magic with the 19th overall selection, he feels that the team will go for some insurance for Dwight Howard by taking Mississippi State power forward Arnett Moultrie. Kotoch is impressed with what the prospect brings to the table.

"Moultrie could crack the lottery, but falling this far would benefit the Magic, giving them a young, viable big that is physically ready for the NBA and polished enough to help on both ends of the court."

In the second round, Kotoch predicts that the Magic will get one of the draft's best value picks in Hampton shooting guard Darrion Pellum. The 6-foot-7 shooting guard has turned heads with his playing abilities.

"Pellum may be the biggest sleeper in the draft. 6'7" and a very talented scorer, this small-school product has captured the eyes of several executives."
