Sixers draftee Timothe Luwawu promises well-rounded game

Most of the 76ers' post-draft attention has gone to Ben Simmons, the first overall pick.

But Timothe Luwawu also has the potential to be something special for the team over time.

Unable to trade up for a second pick in the top eight of the draft, the Sixers settled for the 6-foot-6, 205-pound guard with the 24th pick.

While he's no Kris Dunn, Jamal Murray or Jaylen Brown (the players they coveted), the Sixers found someone who fits the system they are trying to run.

The Sixers want their shooting guards and small forwards to excel offensively and defensively.
