Situation C– Two Wings

Similar to the two guards situation, this would keyhole Ben Simmons into the point guard role with little wiggle room. Still, more length and athleticism is never a bad thing, especially if it’s mixed in with some shooting.

The obvious top prize for this strategy would be Josh Jackson, but Markelle Fultz could potentially come into play as a long term shooting guard also.

Other prospects worth looking at here include Jayson Tatum and Malik Monk, but another worth exploring could be Florida States’ Jonathan Isaac.

Billed as a tweener, Isaac has many pundits (myself included) concerned over whether or not he’ll actually be any good in the NBA given the raw nature of his abilities.

This prospect becomes even less enticing given the strong play of Dario Saric this year, who looks to take up the one tweener spot available on an NBA roster for the 76ers. Still, the Philadelphia 76ers appear happy to stockpick versatility over elite talent at one position.

Unless we’re able to land either Fultz or Jackson, I don’t see much promise in this line of thinking.
