Could Aleksej Pokuševski be the Sixers’ Serbian Savior

Had it not been for the suspended NBA season, the draft would have already taken place and the Sixers’ would already have their new rookie(s). Life had different plans in-mind as the draft now won’t take place until October 16. The level of difficulty in scouting draft prospects is exponentially increased this year due to COVID-19. Interviews, workouts, the whole process has been flipped upside down. The one benefit (if you could call it that) is that teams will now have four extra months to evaluate prospects as best they can.

The Sixers especially need to be as thorough as possible as their recent draft success has been questionable at best.
