BCP Mock Draft Pick #17 (Philadelphia 76ers)

Who do they choose?

[jpf_v2.0]

I went with probably the unconventional pick here for them, Chase Budinger.

Essentially I think they'll work something out with Miller or Ramon Sessions at PG, which leaves them needing a spot up shooter to compliment the slashing styles of Iguadala and Young.

ESPN Depth Chart
PG: Andre Miller / Louis Williams / Royal Ivey
SG: Andre Iguodala / Willie Green / Kareem Rush
SF: Thaddeus Young / Donyell Marshall
PF: Elton Brand / Marreese Speights / Reggie Evans / Jason Smith
C: Samuel Dalembert / Theo Ratliff

Biggest Need
A young PG to develop. Andre Miller is getting up in age and Eddie Jordan would likely want an uptempo offense and Andre just isn't that great of a jump shooter. Lou Williams is more of an off guard in the mold of Nate Robinson and isn't able to run a team from the PG position.

My Pick
Eric Maynor. This pick is really a toss up in my mind, but I see them taking the bigger, surer pick in Maynor. Lawson has the higher upside but is taking a hit with the predraft workouts and his stock seems to be falling a bit. I wouldn't be surprised with either guy here though so who knows

Heck if I know, it depends on if they find a buyer for Dalembert and what happens with Miller, but for now I'll go with Maynor, because that's the position of need and he seems like the best fit.

I voted Lawson, He could give them some depth at PG.

Ty Lawson is our man!
