No. 10: Philadelphia 76ers (from Los Angeles Lakers via Phoenix)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, G, Kentucky
With Mikal Bridges off the board, this became a much easier decision. On the one hand, Gilgeous-Alexander’s hesitancy to shoot from the perimeter makes him a questionable fit with Ben Simmons and the Sixers. On the other hand, his legitimate point guard skills, ability to work as a secondary pick-and-roll threat, 6-foot-6 size and defensive versatility are all great combinations to maximize the Sixers’ unique roster construction. He also showed enough in his shot to give some confidence it can be developed over time. — Derek Bodner (@DerekBodnerNBA)
No. 26: Philadelphia 76ers
Jontay Porter, F, Missouri
Porter projects as a good shooter for his position, can make decisions with the ball and is sound in his defensive rotations. He doesn’t have the greatest athletic profile in the world, but he seems to see the game well and his body has room for improvement once he gets into an NBA strength-and-conditioning program. He’s a reasonable gamble this late in the first round. — Derek Bodner (@DerekBodnerNBA)
Notables from the board: Mike Porter Jr at 7, Mikal Bridges at 9, Miles Bridges at 11, Knox at 13, Troy Brown at 18,
