17. Philadelphia 76ers – Kevin Knox, F, Kentucky
Assuming Markelle Fultz isn’t broken, the only real hole in the Philadelphia 76ers’ depth chart is the shooting guard position – this is assuming J.J. Redick walks in free agency this summer.
And while the Sixers could probably get away with filling that spot internally next year, adding a player like Kevin Knox could help with that Process – see what I did there. In today’s non-positional league, Knox could play the 2 3 or even 4 at the next level. His defense would have to be on par, though.
Even though Knox only shot 35 percent from 3-point range this season, he has shown the ability to be an improved deep ball shooter. That, more than anything, will be the key in determining whether he can play the 2 at the NBA level.
