Complete list of every No. 1 overall pick in NBA Draft history: Jabari Smith Jr. could join exclusive club at 2022 draft

There has been a lot of chatter about which player the Magic should select with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, but Orlando's front office may have already reached a decision.

Ahead of Thursday night's event, the Magic appear to have their eyes set on Jabari Smith Jr., who starred for an Auburn team that won the SEC regular season championship.

"Every NBA team we've talked with expects Smith to end up being the pick here," ESPN's Jonathan Givony wrote in his most recent mock draft. "Any other scenario would be a major surprise to league executives."

If the Magic do follow through and bring Smith to Orlando, he would find himself on a long list of No. 1 picks that features busts, All-Stars and Hall of Famers.
