The NBA draft is still months away due to COVID-19 and while it would have been exciting to already know the results, this wait gives us ever-more time to check out the prospects.
The Sixers’ trip to Orlando will have plenty of draft implications as their lone first-round pick is from the playoff-bound OKC Thunder. As of today, the Sixers would pick 22nd overall, but if the Thunder slip in the standings the Sixers are in danger of losing the pick as it is top 20 protected. The Thunder have a rough remaining schedule as six of their eight games come against current playoff teams while five of those are from the western conference.
