2018 NBA Mock Draft 9.0

The Sixers can double down on perimeter help by adding one of the best shooters in the draft. Allen has drawn his share of criticism over the years, but he’s a fiery competitor who fits some of the Sixers’ foremost needs on the offensive end.

Operating in a bench role, Allen can help lessen the sting from losing either J.J. Redick or Marco Belinelli this offseason, which seems highly possible. He moves well off the ball and boasts quick mechanics in catch-and-shoot scenarios, all while presenting some upside as a secondary ball-handler.

Allen fared well in the combine’s athletic testing, which should give some optimism regarding his defensive potential. He won’t be elite on that end, but he plays hard and should be able to hold his own at 6-foot-5.
