The Philadelphia 76ers have the No. 16 pick in the NBA draft on June 26 and likely will try to trade the pick to acquire a player who can win now. The Sixers are in the midst of a championship window and don’t have time to really develop any players.
However, as long as the Sixers have the pick, they will do their homework.
Per Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Sixers are going to work out 19-year-old Trentyn Flowers on June 20. Flowers played last season for the Adelaide 36ers in the Australian NBL. He averaged 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.4 assists while shooting 35.7% from deep. He stands at 6 feet, 8 inches and 190 pounds so he projects as a wing player in the league.
Trentyn Flowers, who had been one of the NBA draft’s best-kept secrets, is scheduled to work out for the Sixers on June 20, according to sources.

It would be interesting to see where Flowers will land in the NBA draft. He would be an intriguing prospect to add to any roster in the league, but being so young, he would need some time to develop.
