Tristan da Silva was selected by the Magic with the No. 18 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The younger brother of former Stanford standout Oscar da Silva, Tristan played four seasons at Colorado, with the final two being his best production-wise. As a senior, he accounted for 16.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 1.9 3-pointers, shooting 49.3% from the field and 83.5% from the foul line. While da Silva landed in the middle of the pack among forwards in the standing and max vertical tests, he was one of the best regarding lane agility and sprints. He has good size and lateral agility for a wing, but da Silva is not considered to be a lockdown defender at this stage in his career. The perimeter shooting is something teams can work with, however, as the league is always on the prowl for capable catch-and-shoot wings. His long-range shooting is particularly valuable to an Orlando team that ranked dead-last in made three-pointers last season.
