Jason Thompson
The Orlando Magic need a big body and that is exactly what they are getting in Thompson. Thompson is 6-10, 245 PF and is a post forward that would be an excellent complement to Dwight Howard. But with that being said Thompson can also shoot it from 12-15 feet, and has great character which goes a long way now a days. The downside is that he is from a mid-major in Rider, so his competition was not as good as others. However, you can't argue with a guy who has averaged 20-10 for the past two years.
