2. Andre Drummond

Andre Drummond comes to a 76ers team salivating for his skill set. After a permanent role realignment a few seasons ago, the former All-Star center has morphed into one of, if not the best backups in the NBA.

To capitalize on his strong finishing skills, the 76ers need to pair him with a dynamic point guard who can use the threat of the score to find him in spots off pick-and-rolls and easy dumps. Reggie Jackson definitely have those in his bag, and a skilled scorer like him would make life easier on Drummond who would only need to can open looks fed to him.

Even better, the pair has ample experience playing together from their time in Detroit. Within Nick Nurse’s offense and surrounded by more reliable floor spacers, the opportunity is for them to relive that dynamic and plug it into the team’s repertoire.
