26. Philadelphia 76ers

Pick: DeJounte Murray, PG, Washington

The Philadelphia 76ers finally get their point guard. After snagging Ben Simmons and Malik Beasley with their first two first-round picks, the Sixers take DeJounte Murray out of Washington.

Murray is a nice project for the Sixers, who will have an abundance of young talent on their team. As we know, the Sixers need all the talent they can get at this point in the draft, even if it may never pay off.

Philly is on the long road to redemption, and hitting on some of these late picks could be the difference from losing another 60-plus games next season to breaking that 30-win threshold.
