Saddiq Bey, Villanova
Bey is everything the Sixers could use right now. They obviously have wanted this year’s rookie, Matisse Thybulle, to be their new 3-and-D option after trading away Robert Covington, and he very well could be that, but Bey has a bit more potential to fill the “3” part of that aspect. Thybulle’s shot is a bit up-and-down despite his elite-level defense.
Bey shot 45.1% from deep in his sophomore season compared to 37.4% as a freshman so his 3-point percentage is on the upswing. The best part about his game is probably his catch-and-shoot ability which will be something that will be utilized greatly next to Ben Simmons who is one of the best in the league at assisting on 3-point shooters.
