It’s not the big-named guard that most are clamoring for, but the Sixers should be good with either of these picks as The Process continues.
ESPN’s Jeff Goodman told Boston’s WEEI that he thinks the choice is going to come down to Josh Jackson or Jayson Tatum with the 3rd pick.
Nothing in a workout or what I hear from a workout is really going to change [anything]. From what I was told, Fultz didn’t shoot the ball exceptionally well in his workout in Boston, but they know he can shoot the ball. It’s one workout, it’s a one-on-zero deal. I was there after that workout, and then I came out to LA for Lonzo Ball’s workout here, and then I sat with LaVar and Lonzo yesterday for a while in Chino Hills.It’s not rocket science, with Jackson and Tatum being two of the top five rated players on most big boards.
So I still think it’s going to be Fultz at one, Lonzo Ball at two, I think Magic [Johnson] is enamored by Lonzo Ball. and then I think three is a little bit of a tricky choice for Bryan Colangelo and the Sixers, do they go with Josh Jackson, do they go with Jayson Tatum? It’ll be one of those two, I have a feeling.
