--
The days leading up to the 2014 NBA Draft have been anything
but dull.
In the wake of the news that potential top pick Joel Embiid
has yet another injury issue, the draft’s order becomes even less clear, and
teams with top picks may begin having to consider back-up strategies.
While Wiggins may be plan 1A for the Sixers, it is safe to
assume that Sam Hinkie has plans 1B-1Z up his sleeve. One of those plans may
include grabbing another point guard.
From Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski:
“Philadelphia has been intrigued with the
possibility of drafting a point guard with one of its picks in the draft,
closely studying Dante Exum and Marcus Smart.”
Smart is a new name in the mix for the Sixers, who have
previously been mainly associated with Wiggins, Jabari Parker, and Dante Exum.
Smart would not be in play for the third overall selection,
but he throws a new angle into the equation.
What does the Sixers reported interest in picking a point
guard mean for the reigning Rookie of the Year, Michael Carter-Williams?
Wojnarowski also reports that the Sixers have inquired about
acquiring another top-10 pick, in
addition to the third and tenth overall selections.
With the draft now only seven days away, it is certain to be
a busy week for the Sixers.
