The Philadelphia 76ers are only 18 games into the 2021-22 season and they have been solid thus far. The 10-8 record is mostly due to the fact that they have been playing a lot of games without Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, Danny Green, and Matisse Thybulle, but they were 8-2 when everybody was healthy.

Therefore, their mind is probably not focused on the 2022 NBA draft at all. They understand that they have something much bigger in mind and once Embiid returns combined with the strong play of Tyrese Maxey, the Sixers should be able to move forward and get back in the right direction.

Nonetheless, it is fun to look at some mock drafts and see what prospects will be available when the draft does come around.

A mock draft performed by Bryan Kalbrosky over at For The Win has the Sixers selecting TyTy Washington out of Kentucky. Philadelphia, at the moment, has the 13th pick in the draft:

The Philadelphia 76ers have found a gem with a former Kentucky guard, Tyrese Maxey, and could look to do it again with TyTy Washington. He has one of the prettiest jumpers in the nation and he is someone who could thrive in a complementary role or as a microwave scorer off of the bench.

Washington is averaging 15.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists while shooting 46.2% from the floor through the first five games with Kentucky. He is a guy who can heat up in a hurry and he can handle the ball a bit so it would be interesting to see where he ends up. He would be a nice addition to Philadelphia’s bench, but he is a likely lottery pick and the Sixers will not be in the lottery unless something catastrophic happens.
