I am not a big NBA follower, but the following were the two first rounders for the Sixers in a SI mock draft posted today
2. Philadelphia 76ers -- Joel Embiid, C, Kansas
Word around the league is that the Sixers are high on Wiggins. They will settle for Embiid, the draft's best center prospect, who would pair with Nerlens Noel to form an athletic frontcourt. Embiid's back isn't an issue -- yet. NBA executives are eager to get their hands on his medicals at next month's draft combine.
Wiggins goes #1 and Parker #3
10. Philadelphia 76ers (via New Orleans) -- Gary Harris, G, Michigan State
After dumping Evan Turner, Philadelphia has a hole at two-guard. Harris is a capable scorer and a strong defender who should fit in well alongside Michael Carter-Williams.
Meh?
