Draft and Stash Cupboards

While the team could get lucky with the New York Knicks second round pick, the worst of that group could likely be at or nearly at the last pick of the 2017 NBA draft.  But that is okay.

The team boast the rights to shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz and point guard Vasile Micic. While Micic may continue to be an overseas project, Korkmaz could earn a roster spot  next year with a good showing with Turkish team Anadolu Efes.

And with that, the team will need to replenish the overseas cupboards as well.

Can the team find gems in the second round? Easily.  That’s where the NBA locates promising young men who still need a bit of polish to their game.  With many college recruits leaving after just one year of NCAA action, their games oftentimes arrive a tad raw for the NBA court.

So it looks as though the 2017 NBA Draft may be another step to the rebuilding process, and as it appears now, could yield a fine boost of young NBA talent at a key juncture.  How so?

2017 NBA Draft Summary:

Philadelphia 76ers first round pick.
AND Rights to swap 76ers first round pick with that of the Sacramento Kings (best of the two)
AND Los Angeles Lakers first round pick (1-3 Protected)

Philadelphia gets best and worst 2nd round picks from (Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks, and Golden State Warriors)
BUT Philadelphia 76ers second round pick to New Orleans.
