4 shooters the Sixers could target in the 2nd round
By Tyler King
The Philadelphia 76ers have have four second-round picks this year, which shooters could they target in next week’s draft?
Shooters, shooters, and more shooters.
That’s what every team in the NBA is looking to add this offseason — well, except maybe the Houston Rockets, which shot the most 3-pointers per game by far last season.
The Philadelphia 76ers will definitely be adding shooting at some point this offseason. Aside from Dario Saric and Robert Covington, the team doesn’t have any rotation players returning that shot over 35 percent from three-point range this past season, as J.J. Redick, Marco Belinelli and Ersan Ilyasova are all free agents.
The team also knows that it needs to surround its two stars — Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid — with reliable shooters on the perimeter.
This will lead to the Sixers likely adding two or more shooters this offseason.
As I mentioned earlier, the team has four second round picks (Nos. 37, 38, 56, and 60 overall) at its disposal. There are several different ways the team can attack each pick, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone if the team takes a chance on a shooter or two that could potentially earn a spot coming off the bench next season.
Let’s take a look at four possible players the Sixers could target next Thursday.
