The NBA Draft is Thursday night and we are lucky to have a man on the morning show who covered the Sixers for more than a decade. Bob Cooney not only covered the Sixers, but spent many draft nights as the Sixers tried to build a winner (or build a loser…)
Because of Cooney’s background as a basketball scribe, we looked to him to tell us who are some of the players that he would be intrigued by in this years draft. Were not talking about the top prospects. You wont hear Bob break down Jabari Smith or Chet Holmgren. Bob targeted players that should be available at pick 23. This is also assuming the Sixers keep the pick, which is a massive question right now.
Check out the full video player for Bob’s breakdown of all six players!
