The annual NBA draft was held last night, which drew the attention of a number of NFL players, including some Seahawks.
This year the Orlando Magic held the No. 1 pick in the draft. Before they made their selection, Seattle’s star free safety Quandre Diggs joked that they would take him.
With the 1st pick in the 2022 NBA Draft the Orlando Magic choose… Quandre Diggs 6’3 PG from Texas!

That brought on some funny responses, including this quote tweet from former Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate.
Boy only place you 6’3 is in the meta verse. https://t.co/eib9tY0uZI

Diggs responded that we’d find out at training camp.

For the record, Diggs is listed as 5-foot-9.
The Magic eventually chose Paolo Banchero, who’s from Seattle and played his college ball at Duke.
