2. Reggie Bullock would be a nice, two-way addition for the 76ers

Part and parcel of Gary Trent Jr.’s intrigue is his volume three-point shooting, but perimeter defense is also one of his strengths, though the Raptors’ meager status on that end hindered a bulk of that. The 76ers don’t have the stylings of a team that will struggle on that end, but with Paul George and Caleb Martin being their only forwards, investing in a lengthy wing will be a good pivot.

Reggie Bullock, who failed to see the court much last season for Houston, would be a terrific third-string wing. He’s a proven positive defender and a career 38.5 percent three-point shooter. Even better, he’s just a full season removed from being a full-time starter for the Mavericks.

The 76ers badly need to load up on the wings, especiall on the defensive end. After all, the Celtics, Knicks, and Bucks have some of the league’s better wings. Also, Bullock would be a big boost to the locker room, and his versatility would certainly be a great asset to have.
