The NBA Draft is swiftly approaching and teams are scrambling to find out every bit of information they can on this year’s crop of athletes. The Boston Celtics won the NBA Draft Lottery and snagged the first overall pick, while the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers walked away with the second and third picks, respectively.
Currently, most mock drafts predict that the Celtics will select Markelle Fultz and Lakers will take Lonzo Ball, but after that, it’s anyone’s guess who the 76ers will select with the third pick.

While Jackson and Tatum are certainly worthy of consideration, it’s not all that surprising that Philadelphia would be interested in guards.
