Oops: Orlando Magic use picture of wrong Auburn player after drafting Chuma Okeke

The Orlando Magic took a chance on Auburn F Chuma Okeke with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, even though he may end up missing this entire season with a torn ACL.
However, when Okeke shows up in Orlando, the Magic may not recognize him. That’s because they used a picture of a different Auburn player in their tweet about the pick.
As you can see below, in a since-deleted tweet, the Orlando Magic Twitter account touted their pick of Okeke by posting a picture of… Bryce Brown:
Okeke, not Brown, will be heading to Orlando, but the Magic could potentially scoop up Brown later in the draft.
By the time he suits up for the Magic, perhaps they’ll know who Okeke is.
