The NBA Draft was set for June 25, but that has all changed due to the novel coronavirus as it has been postponed indefinitely. The new date will depend on whether the league can finish up the 2019-20 season and the league will go from there.
However, it is still fun to pay attention to all of the mock drafts that get pushed out every day. The Philadelphia 76ers have the 22nd pick in the first round and they have been linked to a variety of players. Most of them selecting a shooter and some have them looking at filling the backup point guard spot.
This one, done by Jeff Goodman over at The Stadium, has the Sixers looking at the point guard spot. He has their sights on Alabama point guard Kira Lewis Jr.
Goodman on Lewis Jr.:
The Sixers could use a backup point guard, and Lewis is a guy who can come in and play with a speed similar to Ben Simmons. Lewis has another gear, and is also an above-average perimeter shooter.
Lewis Jr. has been a consistent name popped up in Sixers mock drafts. He averaged 18.5 points and 5.2 assists for the Crimson Tide and he is a guy who can attack the basket and draw fouls. That is a big asset on this current team to have. He would be able to provide both a scoring punch and playmaking ability off their bench and he can play some defense as well.
