The Magic need bulk up front; they also need a young point guard. Which way will they go in the draft? Here are five big men and five point guards who could be available at No. 18.

The Big Men


Carlos Boozer, 6-9 power forward, Duke. The buzz: A monster frame (270 pounds), but concerns are whether he has the perimeter game to be a highly productive pro.


Melvin Ely, 6-9 power forward, Fresno State. The buzz: The type of player the Magic crave -- a wide-bodied, physical, defensive-minded big man -- but he shouldn't drop to 18. Might the Magic try to trade up?


Marcus Haislip, 6-10 power forward, Tennessee. The buzz: Another raw talent who should go higher but could drop to 18th. Are his basketball instincts up to par?


Jason Jennings, 7-foot center, Arkansas State. The buzz: Considered a top-25 pick because of size and untapped potential, but proceed with caution. The bust potential is just as great.


Amare Stoudemire, 6-10 power forward, Cypress Creek. The buzz: Orlando's phenom could go anywhere between 10th and 20th. He's young and raw but would be a pleasant sight to the Magic at No. 18.

The Guards


Dan Dickau, 6-foot guard, Gonzaga. The buzz: He has the shooting touch from the outside, but do the Magic need another average defender?


Juan Dixon, 6-3 guard, Maryland. The buzz: Forget about his lack of bulk and the ballhandling questions; he has too many intangibles -- including desire -- to be overlooked.


William "Smush" Parker, 6-4 guard, Fordham. The buzz: He made his name on the New York playgrounds and has lots of upside and pizzazz.


Jiri Welsch, 6-6 guard, Czech Republic. The buzz: Can play either guard position and is said to be a better defender than most Europeans. And Doc Rivers loves size at point guard.


Frank Williams, 6-3 guard, Illinois. The buzz: His defense, ballhandling and leadership abilities make him the ideal fit, but will he have the consistency to be a good pro?
