10.  Philadelphia 76ers – Mikal Bridges, F, Villanova

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly trying to trade up, but failure to do so, they will make the smart move at No. 10 – and that means selecting Mikal Bridges, who could come in and provide shooting and defense from day 1.

Bridges’ ceiling may not be as high as some of his contemporaries, but he’s a solid player that can be introduced into the rotation immediately, if needed.

The Sixers don’t need a ton here at No. 10, and anything they add is icing on the cake, but it still doesn’t mean they can’t try to take a big swing here.
