We discuss our most recent 2020 NBA Draft big board, as well as the Philadelphia 76ers’ last decade of first-round picks.
In this week’s episode of The Sixer Sense Podcast, Christopher Kline and Lucas Johnson discuss a pair of big articles recently published on the site. Christopher’s latest big board for the 2020 NBA Draft is the first topic of debate, followed by Lucas’ ranking of the Philadelphia 76ers‘ last 10 years of first-round picks.
After Christopher lays out his top-30 prospects in the 2020 class, Lucas closely dissects the list, focusing on prospects he takes a particular interest in. The conversation shifts between potential Sixers targets and potential top-five picks. Tre Jones, Nico Mannion, James Wiseman, Deni Avdija, and LaMelo Ball are among the prospects discussed.
Debates center on the merits of traditional centers, the Sixers’ precise needs in 2020, and how Elton Brand may approach this new crop of talent. Also mentioned is the potential for a move up on draft night — with a specific target in mind.
Then comes Lucas’ article, in which 15 first-round picks from the last decade of Sixers basketball are ranked from best to worst.
