The Orlando Magic needed a shooter, and they got an one by selecting Croatian shooting guard Mario Hezonja with the fifth overall pick in Thursday's draft.

Hezonja, 20, was considered by many to be the best wing available in the draft. The 6-foot-7, 200 pounder didn't receive much playing time with Spain's FC Barcelona last season (14.7 minutes per game in club competition) but impressed when he was on the court.

Hezonja has spent the past three years playing for FC Barcelona and in the Euroleague. Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said he expects Hezonja to be available to play for the 2015-16 season and has no concerns about the buyout from FC Barcelona.

ESPN's Chad Ford had Hezonja ranked sixth on his final Big Board, noting that the Croatian's "size, athleticism and shooting ability, combined with supreme confidence, should make him a star in the NBA."

Ford's analysis: "[The Magic] desperately need shooting and they need offense and Hezonja immediately becomes the best scorer on the team."

Orlando used its second-round pick -- No. 51 overall -- to select Eastern Washington shooting guard Tyler Harvey. Harvey led the nation in scoring this season, averaging nearly 23 points per game for the Eagles. Although he can shoot, Harvey doesn't project to bring much to the table defensively.

Ford's analysis: "Instant offense off the bench. I'm a big fan."
