Jordan Brand is the top choice.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Paolo Banchero is going to be an endorser for the shoe company.

An impressive list of NBA stars have been signed to Jordan Brand, including Chris Paul, Luka Doncic, and others.

Rhyne Howard and Maya Moore are two of the women's basketball players who are signed to the brand.

As the organization looks to build a contender, Banchero is now the face of the rebuild, along with fellow young players like Cole Anthony and Markelle Fultz.

With his ability to create his own shot and good playmaking from his forward position, Banchero should have an immediate impact on the team.

Anthony told Nick Friedell that he had been in the gym withBanchero. He's going to be helpful to us. We can start building something now.

In the past, the Magic have had the top pick. They chose Howard in 2004. Chris Webber was traded to the Golden State Warriors after he was taken by the Magic. The year before, they chose O' Neal.

There are big shoes to fill as a top overall pick of the Magic. The shoes will be from Jordan.
