26. Philadelphia 76ers – Josh Okogie, G, Georgia Tech

Josh Okogie has worked himself into a potential first-round draft pick, and the Philadelphia 76ers could use a 3-and-D potential project like him. He averaged 18 points, six rebounds and nearly two steals per game during his sophomore season at Georgia Tech.

He may not be a prototypical 3-and-D type player be use of his size but he has the toughness to work his way into a rotation player.

The Sixers are at the point where they need pieces to place around their young core, and Okogie could be the perfect candidate.
