Pre-Draft Outlook

Joel Embiid hobbled through 19 games, while Paul George played in only 41 and (when he did play) wasn’t the guy the Sixers thought they were getting when they signed him to a four-year, $212-million deal last summer. They can be a title contender if both of those guys come back healthy and at the top of their game, but that’s a colossal if, with Embiid and George owed a combined $411 million over the next four years.


The Way to Go

The silver lining was the Sixers moving up to the third pick in a talented Draft. They could trade it to acquire a player on the win-now timeline, but it would be more prudent to use it toward Plan B, where they’re looking a few years down the line at a roster that features Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain and this year’s pick. Maxey and McCain are just 6-2 and 6-3, respectively, so a wing with more size (Ace Bailey) would be a better fit than the talented guards that will be available.
