G - Purdue - 6-0/199

This may be a little high to some, but Edwards is such a prolific scorer. He'd be an excellent fit off the bench to provide elite shooting and instant offense. The biggest knocks on Edwards are his size and that he's not a true point guard, but the Sixers are uniquely qualified to accomodate those flaws. They have a 6-foot-10 point guard in Ben Simmons and, if they bring Jimmy Butler back, a 6-foot-8 backup point guard. He's only about 6-foot, but he's solidly built and features a 6-6 wingspan. He's also a bullldog and doesn't shy away from contact. He should be able to contribute immediately.

C - Arkansas - 6-10/237

You don't want to look too far into draft workouts, but the Sixers didn't really bring in many draftable centers. Gafford is a bouncy, active big that likely would've been a first-rounder had he come out in 2018. Instead, he returned for his sophomore season and just didn't show enough growth to slot him any higher. Gafford's offensive game is very raw and defensive discipline could be an issue. The Sixers are an excellent fit as a team that won't ask too much of Gafford. As Joel Embiid's backup, they'll just need Gafford to protect the rim, set screens and catch lobs. If he can do that for 15 minutes or so a game, he could carve out a nice role.

G/F - Belmont - 6-8/196

Let's just load up on shooters, shall we? Windler has been getting some serious draft buzz so there's a chance he doesn't make it to 34. If he does, the Sixers should pounce. He shot over 40 percent from three for his college career and at 6-foot-8, should be able to get the shot off over perimeter defenders. There are going to be concerns because of his lack of competition and a fear that he may not be able to guard quicker wings. He's more than worth a flyer here as a guy that can be a spot-up shooter immediately and who isn't afraid to do the dirty work as a role player off the bench. He averaged over 10 rebounds a game as a senior and did all the little things despite being the focal point of Belmont's offense.

G/F - Tennessee - 6-5/240

Speaking of doing dirty work, Schofield may be the most physically imposing player in this draft. He's built like a tank and he knows how to throw his weight around. But he's not just brute — he shot over 40 percent from three during his last three seasons at Tennessee and does have some shot creating ability. The biggest issue is whether Schofield has the necessary foot quickness to deal with NBA guards. He'd be a perfect role player as a guy that will bring toughness and shotmaking off the Sixers' bench.

G/F - Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel) - 6-7/198

It doesn't seem likely the Sixers will keep all of these picks, but if they do, it would make sense for one to be a draft-and-stash. Zoosman, an Israeli native, played for Maccabi Tel Aviv with current Sixer Jonah Bolden. The front office surely saw plenty of Zoosman while keeping an eye on Bolden. I can't pretend to know a lot about him, but he has size and is a decent shooter. He won MVP of the 2018 FIBA Europe Under-20 Tournament, helping the Israeli team take home gold. He signed a four-year extension with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2017 so there's likely no rush for the 21-year-old to come over.
