The Sixers actually used their first-round pick, selecting Duke guard Jared McCain. Will they make another pick in Round 2?
Trentyn Flowers The 6-foot-7 swingman, who spent this past season in Australia’s National Basketball League instead of playing for Louisville, is an elite athlete, who has drawn some comparisons to Zach LaVine.
Flowers can come in the league as a three-and-D player at the start of his career, a league scout said. In addition to being a solid 3-point shooter, he can defend both guard positions and small forwards. He also has a high basketball IQ and is a playmaker. Flowers, who has a 42-inch vertical, has impressed NBA teams during workouts after being relatively unknown after averaging just 5.2 points in 18 appearances for the Adelaide 36ers. The former University of Connecticut point guard is a two-time NCAA champion, a first-team All-American, and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four this past season.
The 6-5, 195-pounder averaged 15.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists this past season for the Huskies. Newton also finished with two triple-doubles and 11 double-doubles. The 6-foot-6, 215-pounder from Sweden is a versatile two-way player who contributed on and off the ball at Arizona this past season. Larsson averaged career highs of 12.8 points and 3.7 assists while starting in all 36 games. He also shot 42.6% on three-pointers en route to being a second-team all-Pac 12 selection.
An efficient scorer who makes smart decisions, Larrson played a key role on the Wildcats earning the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
