After being selected No. 18 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, da Silva quickly carved out a role as a rookie, averaging 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.4 steals in 22.0 minutes while shooting 41.2 percent from the field and 33.5 percent from beyond the arc in 74 regular-season appearances (38 starts). The Colorado product took steps forward across the board during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 24.7 minutes while shooting 45.0 percent from the field and 37.4 percent from three-point range in 77 regular-season contests (34 starts). His impact in Orlando's first-round loss to Detroit was muted, however, as da Silva averaged 4.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 15.4 minutes while shooting 37.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from deep across seven games. Despite the poor showing to close the season, the 25-year-old is well-positioned to be the Magic's top reserve at forward. Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero are locked into starting roles, but da Silva is likely the first wing off the bench given his more proven production compared to the likes of Jamal Cain and Noah Penda. Continued improvement could render da Silva a somewhat viable option in deep formats, but his upside and overall appeal are limited barring injuries to Wagner or Banchero.
