NBA Draft 2017: Frank Ntilikina fits what the Sixers need

When discussing who the Sixers might take with the third overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the names in consideration have been limited to a select few. Assuming that Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball are selected with the first two picks, the conversation is centered around Jayson Tatum, Josh Jackson, Jonathan Isaac and (to a lesser extent) De’Aaron Fox. But there’s been no indication that the Sixers have honed in on any of those players, or are even interested in keeping the selection.

A trade down seems unlikely, but certainly not impossible given how the more natural fitting pieces of that class will most likely be off the board.
