22. Philadelphia 76ers (Oklahoma City) – Jaden McDaniels, F, Washington

Depending on how they perform in the NBA’s restart bubble, the Philadelphia 76ers could be in for a major roster shake-up this offseason. No matter what the case may be, they can add a solid project with the 22nd pick in the first round of the 2020 NBA draft.

At 22, Jaden McDaniels could emerge as an intriguing target for the Sixers. During his freshman season at Washington, McDaniels averaged 14 points and six rebounds per game. He is still very much a raw prospect, but with his length and skill set could provide the Sixers with a worthwhile project.

McDaniels still needs to prove that he can be a reliable offensive threat on a consistent basis and there are questions about his ability to translate to the NBA level, but he could end up being one of the better rotation players to emerge from late in the first round.
