The 2024 NBA draft will take place on June 26 (first round) and June 27 (second round). The Philadelphia 76ers have the No. 16 pick at the moment, and even though they’re likely to trade the pick for a win-now player, there are some options at 16.
The Sixers could certainly use a wing player. Somebody who can produce on both ends of the floor in the high pressure situations in the playoffs would be a great fit next to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
However, they could also use a backup point guard. Another ballhandler who can run things on the offensive end would be a big help. The folks over at HoopsHype used their Draft Predictor and they believe the Sixers will take Providence guard Devin Carter.
HoopsHype puts Carter to the Sixers at a 22.2% chance of happening while Baylor wing Ja’Kobe Walter has a 20.2% chance of being selected by Philadelphia.
A tough-minded guard on either end of the floor, Carter averaged 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while shooting 37.7% from deep in the 2023-24 season for Providence.
