Philly Targeting Tristan?
The clock is winding down, as we are one week away from NBA Draft Day this month on June 23rd.
The Sixers season was without a doubt a great turnaround and improvement. However, there is still other places to improve upon where they did not touch this season.
Those improvements will hopefully take place on the infamous draft day and perhaps the front office will surprise the fans with a big blockbuster deal (or maybe I’m just dreaming).
Pro: More Potential
Obviously if the Sixers trade up they are gaining a lot of potential.
It may not seem like a lot, but even a jump into the late top ten is a big difference then the 16th pick. If the Sixers land a top ten pick and draft a big man like Tristan Thompson, the Sixers will have a lot of potential with him and Evan Turner.
Plus, I think that Andre Iguodala is going to hand over the team to Turner for the future soon and just work on complementing the young squad. He already does this, but I think once Turner becomes the number one, then we will see a lot more of it.
An addition of a really good big man with high potential just adds to the possibilities of how scary the Sixers can be.
Con: They Need to Give Up a Lot
Because of the very little depth this draft class has, the top ten picks have much more value.
