Draft Targets
Pick #3: Emmanuel Mudiay, Point Guard/Shooting Guard, China
While Ohio State SG/PG D’Angelo Russell would certainly be the flashier pick here, Mudiay is the better one. Russell plays as more of a shooting guard than a point guard, and after trading away reigning Rookie of the Year PG/SG Michael Carter-Williams, the 76ers will look to address their hole at floor general. Mudiay can do so with mismatch size at 6’5”, just like Carter-Williams, as well as ridiculous athleticism and great driving skills that start with his lightning-quick first step. His jumper is still a work in progress (also just like Carter-Williams), but then again, so is Philadelphia’s roster.
