The Philadelphia 76ers are projected to have the 15th pick in the 2024 NBA draft by Tankathon, and there are a great many directions they could go with the pick.
They could, of course, trade the pick to get a player that will win right away, but some players in the NCAA Tournament can help fill the team’s needs.
One player that makes sense is Tennessee wing player Dalton Knecht. Through two wins in the tournament, Knecht has 41 points and 17 rebounds. His play on both ends of the floor has helped the Volunteers beat Saint Peter’s and Texas to reach the Sweet 16.
Knecht would give the Sixers a big boost on the wing, and he brings abundant experience from his time in college. A great many NBA teams are beginning to focus on more experienced players over freshmen and other youngsters.
Knecht is shooting 39.1% from deep in his first season with Tennessee after transferring from Northern Colorado. He is a good player who can help an NBA team right away.
