The Philadelphia 76ers own the 28th and 50th picks in the 2021 NBA Draft. While the odds of getting the next All-Star are slim, it’s still possible for the Sixers to grab an immediate contributor — especially in the first round. This is a relatively deep class, with plenty of talent at positions of need.
Most mock drafts have the Sixers selecting another point guard. With Ben Simmons’ future in doubt, and the lack of playmaking juice still a problem in the second (and even first) unit, it’s not an illogical projection.
