player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Texas A&M. 77. Center. Robert Williams. 12

I feel like the logo is going to do something crazy with these two picks.  If he doesn’t, Robert Williams makes a lot of sense.  Miles Bridges probably deserves to go here, but he doesn’t make any sense with Harris on the roster already.  Williams brings in a lob city mentality without the lob city baggage.

SGA might be another realistic option here.

VALLEY OF THE SUNS SCOUTING REPORT

Alabama. Collin Sexton. player. 170. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Point Guard. 11

It is time for the Hornets to break up with Kemba.  That’s not a knock on Walker, but it’s just the sad reality of where this cash-strapped franchise is at.  They need to rebuild and Sexton is a solid replacement at point guard.  He’s a little too short to be elite, but the Suns watched Eric Bledsoe work around that for a few years.

You could see Charlotte also look at either Bridges if they’re available here.

Villanova. 93. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Mikal Bridges. 10. player. Small Forward

The 76ers have enough ball handlers that they could really benefit from someone who thrives just being an elite defender who can knock down an open shot.  In a lot of ways they already have this player in Robert Covington, but Bridges gives them more offensive potential in basically the same body.

I still think they should take a long look at a change of pace player like Sexton, but I just don’t expect to see it happen.
