Mario Hezonja

Following up on yesterday’s column, which centered on some of the concerns I have when looking at D’Angelo Russell, Emmanuel Mudiay, and Mario Hezonja as prospects, we can now take a look at what intrigues me about each. These guys are, after all, some of the higher rated prospects on my board...

Continuing with my series of likes and dislikes, we now take a look at some of the perimeter players that are likely to be available for the Sixers at the 3rd pick. Namely, the two point guards, D’Angelo Russell and Emmanuel Mudiay, and Mario Hezonja.

Ever since the Sixers ping pong ball combination came up with the #3 pick in Tuesday night’s NBA lottery, the general assumption has been that Ohio State’s D’Angelo Russell is the front-runner to be picked by the Sixers.

After last night’s NBA lottery results were announced, the immediate assumption was that Karl-Anthony Towns and Jahlil Okafor would go 1st and 2nd in the draft, in some order.
