Other prospects the 76ers left on the board
Dalton Knecht, Wing, Tennessee
If the 76ers wanted an offensive floor spacer, why didn’t they select Dalton Knecht from Tennessee? Although he’s older, he’s an enticing shooter as well and demonstrates self-creation ability. He would give the 76ers extra size and length as well as a third option that defenses have to account for.
Ja’Kobe Walter, Guard, Baylor
They could have selected Ja’Kobe Walter. He is not as consistent as a shooter but demonstrates more defensive ability. He consistently hustles, competes on the boards, and possesses good length and athleticism recording a 6’10” wingspan and 38.5” vertical at the combine. His shooting would be an adventure, but his versatility would be more expansive.
Kyshawn George, Wing, Miami
Lastly, another possible option for the 76ers was Kyshawn George. He brings size measuring at 6’7” with a 6’10” wingspan and possesses shooting ability to boot. More of a project than an immediate contributor, George matches the three-point ability of McCain converting 40.8% of his attempts. Theoretically, if the 76ers wanted floor spacing, George would have provided that as well.
