Jase Richardson x Orlando Magic = DREAM FIT
This is perfect for both sides. All his size concerns mitigated by this massive, lengthy Magic roster. Adds elite shooting and connective playmaking. Jase would’ve been top 10 on my Magic big board.

One NBA Draft analyst is considering the Orlando Magic‘s pick of Jase Richardson the “perfect” selection.
Kevin O’Connor of Yahoo Sports has labeled Richardson and the Magic a “perfect” match. The Magic selected Richardson with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday night, adding yet another first rounder to the Spartans’ long historic list of success.
Here’s what O’Connor had to say about the Magic’s pick of Richardson in a post on social media:
“Jase Richardson x Orlando Magic = DREAM FIT. This is perfect for both sides. All his size concerns mitigated by this massive, lengthy Magic roster. Adds elite shooting and connective playmaking. Jase would’ve been top 10 on my Magic big board.”
The Magic were considered one of the top landing spots for Richardson, so O’Connor’s breakdown of the pick is actually in line with that same thinking. This is great news for Richardson, who should make an instant impact with the Magic next season.
