The 2017 NBA Draft is set to get underway on June 22 at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, with the Sixers aiming to find a backcourt mate to pair alongside 2017 No. 1 overall choice Ben Simmons, while providing some much-needed roster balance.
Owning the third-overall pick in the draft, there's a chance that the Sixers could miss out on top guards Markelle Fultz, and Lonzo Ball.

The fact that Jackson found trouble multiple times at Kansas is a minor red flag -- particularly for a Philadelphia franchise that would mostly surround him with other young players.
