Prospect Breakdown: KZ Okpala

Many are wondering exactly what position the Sixers are going to prioritize in the first round of the NBA Draft. A backup center is an obvious need after the performance of the bench bigs in the playoffs, but some extra bench production from the wings would also be a big help. It could come down to the best player available on Philadelphia’s board, which could make the Sixers more likely to try and draft upside picks. A player like KZ Okpala is the type of player on whom the Sixers could take a gamble. Many evaluators have differing opinions on him, but he does flash some serious potential.
