Philadelphia 76ers roundtable: Pre-lottery 2020 NBA mock draft
31st pick: Mavericks- Leandro Bolmaro
Geib-
Leonardo Bolmaro is a European prospect with several question marks surrounding his game. However, having begun his professional career in 2017, the 19-year-old has had close to four years of experience playing against Europe’s best professionals. Bolmaro’s future teammate Luka Doncic is another European player who began his professional career at a young age. I am not saying Bolmaro is the next Doncic, but the Mavericks undoubtedly see the upside here.
32nd pick: Hornets- Theo Maledon
Plesco-
The Hornets got the big man they needed in Okongwu and it’s time to turn attention to the backcourt. Maledon should have been selected in the first round. He’s a terrific athlete with great size. He has all the physical tools to succeed. At 6-foot-8 Maledon is a fantastic point guard prospect.
“Tillie is arguably the most skilled big in the draft.”-Kline
33rd pick: Timberwolves- Tyler Bey
Johnson-
So far in this draft, Minnesota has addressed the point guard and the big man positions. With the 33rd pick, they need to add some depth on the perimeter and Tyler Bey is a solid value at this pick. He’s a great rebounder at 6-foot-7 averaging 9.0 rebounds per game last season. Tyler Bey has potential as a defender and 3-point shooter, but there are some questions around his shooting as he didn’t show consistent shooting during his three years in college.
34th pick: 76ers- Killian Tillie
Kline-
The Sixers’ crop of bigs behind Joel Embiid and Al Horford isn’t particularly exciting. Tillie is arguably the most skilled big in the draft. He’s a honey-sweet shooter, a smart passer, and a quick decision-maker. Frankly, he’s a lottery talent. He has major injury concerns, but if Tillie can stay on the floor, he’ll probably outperform expectations.
