With December underway, we’re getting more familiar with the 2019 NBA Draft class. Who might the Philadelphia 76ers pursue?
The 2018 NBA Draft and the 2019 NBA Draft will look very different. 2018 featured several elite bigs, whereas 2019 will place a heavy emphasis on perimeter talent. Duke also has a chance to represent the first three picks, making history in the process.
Also of note, the ACC is home to the top five prospects on this board. The top four all play in the state of North Carolina, with Duke once again recruiting the nation’s best freshman class. There will be some entertaining matchups once conference play hits.
As always, big boards do not equal mock drafts. Team fit isn’t taken into account. As the season progresses, the board will expand to 60 (potentially even 100), with more relevant names joining the mix.
If the draft were to happen today, the Philadelphia 76ers would hold the 24th overall pick. The Kings pick lands at 14, sending it to Boston. You can read our most recent mock draft here, in which the Sixers pursue another piece on the perimeter.
Here’s our updated top 30.
