On Thursday night, the 76ers made three draft picks, which is three more picks than many expected. There were rumors that they could package these picks as part of a veteran player’s deal. This immediate win should be the core of the 76ers’ offseason plan.

Instead, the team captured three young players: Tennessee guard Jaden Springer (ranked 28th overall), former Gonzaga center and Adriatic League MVP Philip Petrusev (ranked 28th) 50th) and Western Kentucky big man Charles Brazil (53rd).

In addition to all the draft picks, the 76ers also failed to find Ben Simmons’ trading partner. Although there is no guarantee that the trade will be completed on draft night, Philadelphia insists that they are not in a hurry to leave the All-Star guard, if all signs indicate This is the final conclusion. But we are not here to talk about Simmons-I know, this is rarely seen in the 76ers story now. Instead, we are studying whether the three players mentioned above, especially the local and national basketball media, think they are the best choice for Darryl Morey and his company.

Yes, this is the long-standing NBA draft tradition: results!

We have some only for the first round, some look at each pick individually, and some combine them to get an overall result. Let’s dive into…

Philadelphia 76ers

What Springer lacks most at this stage is the ability to dribble through defenders. But everything else is there. He can hit a fixed three-pointer. He can score at the basket. He showed good passing vision. If he can become a more energetic dribbler, then he can use his ability to produce jump shots when jumping. But from day one, what he will bring to the 76ers is defense. He is tenacious, and Philadelphia fans will soon realize this.

28. Philadelphia 76ers: PG Jaden Springer, Tennessee

I am a fan of who Springer might become, but there is a legitimate concern that he used his power to get places in high school and college, and may not be able to do these things in the NBA. Jared Butler and Ayo Dosunmu may be better choices. Grade: B+

50. Philadelphia 76ers (from New York): PF Filip Petrusev, Serbia

Philadelphia has a very interesting upside bet here. As a former Gonzaga leader, Petrusev spent last season at Mega Basket and improved his shooting skills in a real way. He made 41.9% of his 3-pointers. At 7 feet tall, he has shown great value as a late bloomer, and he can become a space center. Grade: B

53. Philadelphia 76ers (from New Orleans): C Charles Bassey, Western Kentucky

I asked Brazil to laugh at the 76ers in the first round, thinking that center depth will be the top priority of the Philadelphia front office. Let him be considered a victory at the age of 53. He is more like a retro big man, but his presence as a blocker and insider dominates the American conference, and has rebounding ability, the worst case is to become a backup center.

28. Philadelphia 76ers: Jaden Springer, G, Tennessee

For the 76ers, Springer is a good value choice, they can develop him into a long-term prospect. His skills overlap with those of Tyrese Maxey, but he is a tough, defensive defender who is not yet 19 years old. Springer has been plagued by injuries for part of the year in Tennessee and has some clear advantages on offense as he becomes a better shooter and playmaker. Although Philadelphia may have reason to catch an older person here, Springer is arguably the most interesting teenage prospect left on the board.

28. Philadelphia 76ers

Jaden Springer | 6-4 guard | 18 years old, freshman | Tennessee

Vecenie’s ranking: 20

Springer is talented, but it is difficult to take the game to a new level. He really has to add some different skills and counterattacks, as well as change the way he only kicks the ball with two feet. If he can handle the jumper, he is a great 3D two-back guard who can sometimes flank the opponent, use his excellent ball handling ability to take on difficult perimeter defense tasks, and is expected to provide value on the offensive end. This road is really not that far, even if the benefits are in the realm of an effective role player rather than a star.

Hollinger’s team is suitable for: Some of these will inevitably depend on how the 76ers complete the Ben Simmons deal, but I ranked Springer in the top 20 and think Philadelphia is getting good value here. He is more like a dual guard, his role may conflict with Shake Milton’s role, but his defense may be enough to get him on the court for a few minutes right away. Although I have argued for Butler or McBride in previous drafts, Springer is younger and has more long-term advantages. I like his opportunity to make an impact here in the next few seasons.

Hollinger would choose… Springer [theathletic.com]

[NOTE: There were no actual grades here, despite the headline saying there would be, so we’ll just leave it at their Springer analysis and won’t go into the second round.]

28. Philadelphia 76ers-Jaden Springer, G, Tennessee

This may be the most valuable option in the draft. We think Springer is a lottery-level rookie. Although he is one of the youngest American players in the draft, he did well in his freshman year at the University of Tennessee. Springer is a strong 6’4 guard and a ruthless point guard who can bully smaller guards on offensive points. Although his offensive performance is a bit impressive considering his reputation in high school, Springer’s three-point shooting percentage is still 44%, and his three-point shooting percentage is very low, and he shows The paint zone’s ability to play through contact. This is the second consecutive year that the 76ers won Tyrese Maxey when they were in their 20s last year.

Assessor: Mark Narducci

He has the confidence to go to the basket and shoot three pointers. But he only made 46 shots from beyond the three-point line, so although his hit rate was 43.5%, the sample size was small.

Like Tyrese Maxey, Springer does not seem to be a pure point guard, but if he improves his ability to handle the ball, he may be able to provide playing time there. He seems to be very careless about the ball. Although he may have escaped in the SEC, he will not be in the NBA. …

What the 76ers like is that he is a player who is willing to defend, even though some of the gambles he made in college would not work in the NBA.

Is this a good choice? See who the 76ers bypassed. It seems worth the money. We let him score 26 points in our Inquirer mock draft.

For a player who is known for his diligence, he will not evade defense and he is confident on offense. He may be a positive addition.

Don’t expect immediate results, but this seems to be a reliable choice

It shouldn’t be surprising that 76ers executive Daryl Morey has chosen an analysis darling in the draft. Springer filled the penalty area with limited touches in Tennessee, and his work ethic should make the 18-year-old a two-way contributor to a team that has long sought help in the backcourt.

Petrushev won the honor of MVP of the Adriatic League, and Brazil is a top high school recruit. His college career was interrupted by a leg injury. There are even worse bets to find a decent future substitute for Joel Embiid.

Ten cents

Assessor: Brad Rowland

Jaden Springer (ranked 28th overall), grade: A-

Undeniably, my evaluation of Springer is higher than consensus. From this perspective, this is a great choice for Philadelphia. He does have some overlap with Tyrese Maxey. Last year the 76ers captured the latter in another value option, but Springer’s defense should suit Philadelphia, and he is an underrated shooting creator. It’s a strange season for Tennessee, but it’s a bit strange for Springer to get to this point. The Sixers found themselves promising and didn’t have to trade for it. [uproxx.com]

Philadelphia 76ers – B

Ben Simmons is still a 76er, at least for now, which eclipses the Philadelphia night. This does not mean that Daryl Morey had a bad night. Springer is a good sneaky choice-he is defensive, shooting 43% in his lonely year in college, and is still 18 years old-and the physically strong Brazil can substitute Joel Embi at the fulcrum.
