Philadelphia 76ers roundtable: Pre-lottery 2020 NBA mock draft
15th pick: Magic- Saddiq Bey
Plesco-
The Magic have holes all over the roster. In a relatively light draft of forwards, Bey is a steal for Orlando. He perfectly fits the Magic, who are in desperate need of defense and 3-point scoring.
Bey is the quintessential NBA small forward. He shoots the ball extraordinarily well from deep and plays stone-wall defense. Think Khris Middleton. A great 3-and-D prospect who will contribute right away.

16th pick: Timberwolves- Precious Achiuwa
Johnson-
After selecting point guard LaMelo Ball with the third pick, the Timberwolves need to address their big man situation. Outside fo Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota lacks any proven big men on the roster. With Precious Achiuwa still on the board in this mock draft, picking him just makes sense for the T-Wolves at this point.
Achiuwa is a 6-foot-9 defensive monster. He needs to add a little more strength but last season he averaged a double-double with 15.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.8 blocks, while shooting 32.5 from deep. His defense can help out the Towns how struggles on that end and he has potential as a stretch big, which should make him an interesting prospect for Minny.
