The Orlando Magic finally have some offense.

The Magic selected Eastern Washington shooting guard Tyler Harvey with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft on Thursday night.

Here's a list of players who scored more than Harvey in the NCAA this season:

So yeah, Harvey can really fill it up. The question becomes whether he can do so outside of the Big Sky, hardly a hotbed of NBA-caliber competition. At the very least, Harvey can shoot, knocking down 43.2 percent of his 7.2 3-point attempts per game over three seasons. That's enough for him to project as the draft's second-best shooter.

His marksmanship alone warrants a draft flier, but some believe Harvey could be more than just a spot-up threat. He's got a quick handle, protected the ball well despite a heavy offensive load, and has a terrific floater in the event he needs to drive past a closeout. He probably won't be much of a defender and he needs to bulk up, but he could provide instant offense backing up either guard spot.
