The Philadelphia 76ers have the physical assets and two first-round picks to bargain with if they wanted to make moves in the draft, and multiple reports suggest that is the move. Per the guy who could be the team's next general manager, the 76ers are looking to move up into the top 5.
Interesting nugget in our @SiriusXMNBA NBA Draft special per David Griffin.— Tom Byrne (@1TomByrne) June 15, 2018
“Philly is very much looking to move up to get somebody they think will go in the top 5.”
With Deandre Ayton appearing as a lock to the Phoenix Suns at No. 1, and Marvin Bagley III, Mohamed Bamba, and Jaren Jackson Jr. all being mocked as likely top-five picks.
Luka Doncic and Michael Porter Jr. could be the two likely candidates, with Trae Young possibly fitting into the group as well.
All three players give the 76ers deep shooting, while Doncic gives the team a solid playmaker and big-time resume at such a young age.
With Philly looking to acquire Kawhi Leonard, a decision will have to be made in the next few days.
