Harris is an incredible scorer who can help Phillys bench if the offense starts to stall. signed a standard NBA contract last week. Though not the pure scorer Riller is, Flynn far outpaces him as passer, shooter and pick and roll orchestrator. The new front office needs to explore some sort of a middle ground. I find Mannion to be an even better off-ball player, as I consider him to be the single best off-ball relocator in the class; he just has a preternatural feel for maneuvering the court off the ball to generate good looks. MC: All of the guys I mentioned above would be great options if they last, but my absolute favorite prospect at this spot would have to be Joe. BP: Rather quickly, this classs solid draft-and-stash depth evaporated. The San Diego State point guard is one of my favorite prospects in the class, and fills a gaping hole for this current Sixers roster. Despite being 61 and 185 pounds, he is legitimately a difference maker as a team defender. The defense (especially for his age at 23, hes 10 years older than Adam!) I fully expect the rim pressure and shot-making to be there from day one, which will ease the pressure on every other aspect. Joe is one of the best shooters in this class, and while his percentages werent great this year compared to his freshman season, his shooting gravity on the floor is very evident and having that kind of spacing next to Simmons and Embiid would be amazing. Does the short-term contributor elevate your title odds beyond short-term alternatives available via free agency or trade? The Sixers could help decrease the gap between them and the Brooklyn Nets by adding more talent with the remainder of their taxpayer mid-level exception. Winston is a small guard who is an incredible shotmaker and one of the best college players weve seen recently. We discuss the Sixers deadline moves and non-moves, the rest of the NBA and how that will work out, and what this all means for B-Ball Paul. In a month, youll watch the Sixers turn the ball over 77 times in three quarters. Defensively, hes about as good as you can get for a small guard. His comfort with these goofy finishes shows impressive footwork and intelligent processing, both traits that bode very well for his projection against NBA shot-blockers. Its rare to find a collection of talent with as much goodness and as many holes as Philadelphias but here we are (thanks, Elton!). As a small guard, Flynn has to provide as much value as possible in every aspect. Joe is able to disrupt a great deal off the ball. Defensively, he envelopes offenses with all of his length, a solid on and off ball defender. He has been legally banned from covering the team in person, and when that ban was set to be lifted, Covid-19 struck. But much more interesting to me is capitalizing on the advent of the pre-stash. With the schedule incongruence introduced by COVID, weve seen a litany of former NCAA players sign international deals ahead of the NBA draft, effectively stashing themselves prior to the draft. Their first-rounder would currently be No. The league announced Monday that the draft will be held on July 29, with the combine taking place June 22 and the lottery June 21-27. Hes a smaller guard, but Philly has good enough size to the point where they should be able to make up for his size (or lack thereof). and decision making raise alarm, but the Sixers have the infrastructure to insulate Riller in both regards. His lack of strength punctures his entire game he might be too weak to drive and finish, too weak to defend the point of attack, too weak to extend his range to 30+ feet.
