24. Philadelphia 76ers: Furkan Kormanz

The Philadelphia 76ers became winners in the eyes of the world when they lost so much, they won the lottery…follow all that? Anyways, when they weren’t sure they’d win the lottery they went to work stockpiling other picks in the hopes one of those might pan out. Instead now though they’re stuck with a couple of really late picks in a draft where they don’t appear to be much on the surface.

They likely get a steal here as I have a would-be lottery selection falling pretty deep in the form of Furkan Kormanz. He might be one of the most lethal offensive players, but the same was said a year ago about Mario Hezonja. That projection has led to uncertainty with Kormanz and it could be the 76ers who inevitably stand to gain from it.
