Donte DiVincenzo has been on an upward trajectory ever since the NCAA Tournament and is prepared to stay in the 2018 NBA Draft. Can he make an impact for the Philadelphia 76ers?

Donte DiVincenzo has been a draft-darling ever since his meteoric rise during March Madness. He shot 56 percent from the floor during Villanova’s championship run. The 21-year-old sophomore had a strong season, that improved as the season progressed.

After his unconscious performance in the National Championship, DiVincenzo had every reason to test the NBA Draft waters. DiVincenzo absolutely killed it at the NBA Combine. He is no longer a secret, and most likely made himself a lot of money in Chicago. The BIG EAST Sixth Man of the Year went from being a possible draft pick, to a potential first-round selection.

DiVincenzo offers special physical tools, and championship-pedigree intangibles. He’s gone from to a sought-after commodity. Teams are entering the DiVincenzo sweepstakes, but what does he bring to the NBA and could he once again play home games at the Wells Fargo Center?
