Philadelphia 76ers: 5 options for No. 24 pick in 2019 NBA Draft

The Philadelphia 76ers currently possess one first-round pick. Here are some potential options.

As the 2019 NBA Draft edges closer, it’s time to analyze which prospects could stick on the Philadelphia 76ers‘ radar. The Sixers’ highest pick is 24, where the team snagged Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot just a few years prior. It provides a real opportunity to snag a bench contributor.

While the center position remains a point of concern, the Sixers should target perimeter depth at 24. There will be affordable center options in free agency and there are more appealing wing prospects projected to be available in the Sixers’ range.

The Sixers need shooting and defense in the second unit, ideally adding more to the Mike Scott–James Ennis duo that anchored the bench during Philadelphia’s postseason run. While Ennis feels unlikely to return, one should expect Scott to retain an important role next season.

Odds are both Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris return as well, giving the Sixers two high-level creators alongside the vaunted Joel Embiid–Ben Simmons core. The Sixers need players who can coincide in an environment that keeps at least two on the floor at all times.

Here are five options who are likely to be available when No. 24 hits.
