After being drafted No. 1 overall in the Puerto Rican BSN by Leones de Ponce last year, Ford played in 32 games averaging 7.6 points and 2.7 rebounds. In November, the former Badger was picked up by the Lakeland Magic the G League affiliate of Orlando.
After 12 games with Lakeland, Ford was signed to a 10-day contract in December where he made his NBA debut with the Magic. Unfortunately, Ford was sent back down to Lakeland at the end of his contract, but hopefully, his play this summer can get him onto an NBA roster.
