Pour Me A Tall Draft
Right now, the Philadelphia 76ers appear to be well suited to gain ground in the 2017 NBA Draft. Ignoring the NBA lottery system for a moment, the Philadelphia 76ers look to be drafting at one and seven (courtesy of the Los Angeles Lakers) in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft. In round two, the Philadelphia 76ers look to be picking at 43rd and 60th (courtesy of the Detroit Pistons and Golden State Warriors respectfully).

Who might be there? Well, the Philadelphia 76ers will have bigger fish to fry with the first round. With the team looking at point guard Ben Simmons, center Joel Embiid, forward Dario Saric, shooting guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, the team will most certainly look to fill a small forward role with an early draft pick.
So that places the likelihood of the best player available to the Philadelphia 76ers in round two. Can the team find a diamond in the rough there? Well, the team managed to find Bowling Green’s Richaun Holmes in the 2015 second round at 37.
The first place to look into the 2017 NBA Draft is for falling stars. And The Sixer Sense stargazer, Christopher Kline, may have spotted one.
