Choosing potential over experience, the Orlando Magic have selected high school senior Dwight Howard with the first pick of the NBA draft in New York. The 18-year-old Howard became the third prep player in the past four years to be picked first overall. The identity of the Magic's pick was a mystery to almost everyone right up until commissioner David Stern walked onstage at Madison Square Garden and delivered the news. Connecticut junior Emeka Okafor, a finalist for the U.S. team that will compete in the Athens Olympics, was announced the second pick. His UConn teammate, Ben Gordon, went third to the Chicago Bulls, marking the second time in three years teammates have been selected second and third. 转自搜狐
