Orlando Magic C Khem Birch

Center is a big need, and there are plenty of big names available on the market as of now, bargain-bin options that make sense are hard to come by right now. Khem Birch, while nothing spectacular, is a reliable big who can be counted on for solid chunks of minutes at a time. His price might be a little higher due to many contending teams checking in, but two second-round picks should be enough for him. Birch could come in and grab boards for the Hornets. Birch’s stats look mediocre, but that could be because of his situation in Orlando where there are many bigs. Birch could be worth it and provide the Hornets solid cover for when Cody Zeller is out.
