Dzanan Musa. 26. player. 93. . SF. KK Cedevita

The Sixers might not want to use two guaranteed roster spots in the first round. Musa might spend another season or two overseas, affording the front office some added flexibility as free agency approaches.

At 6-8, Musa is an absolute dynamo on the offensive end. He can score all over the floor, using herky-jerky dribble combinations, silky finishes and fluid pull-ups to attack defenders in isolation. He has drawn some Euro-Jamal Crawford comparisons as a result.

There are significant concerns about Musa’s ability to defend in the NBA. That said, his upside as a bench gunner who can score in bunches is enough to warrant first-round consideration.
