Could drafting Kira Lewis Jr solve the Sixers’ backup PG problem?
The NBA’s scheduled Orlando restart is less than a month away, so obviously, a majority of the basketball community’s attention is on that. However, the 2020 draft has still yet to take place, and the Sixers are in a financial situation where a “good draft” is pretty much a must-have this summer.
While flashy names like LaMelo Ball and James Wiseman are expected to land in the top five, there are still plenty of talented players the 76ers could end up with towards the back end of the first round. Currently projected to be selected at pick #21, the Sixers could finally solve their backup PG position, a spot that has been a revolving door as of late.
