00:00We don't really have a track record to be able to go by Gansey's to say,
00:03okay, he leans this way or otherwise.
00:05What would be in that range of players that might be drafted that could be available?
00:11Could you see the Sixers adding that might have everybody talking on Wednesday morning positively?
00:16I think a player that would be pretty exciting that I think has gotten a lot of love
00:19among the draft sort of community and people that really follow college basketball closely
00:24is a guy named Alan Graves who played at Santa Clara.
00:27He has basically in a year gone from unknown commodity to first-round lock.
00:32He put up some just ridiculous defensive numbers like historic combination of steal rate and block rate.
00:39He's also a great rebounder.
00:41Today's NBA is all about winning the possession battle, maximizing your possessions.
00:45He does a lot of stuff that really fits that bill.
00:48At this point, I would be surprised if he was available at 22.
00:51I wouldn't be shocked, but I'd be at least a little surprised by that
00:54just based on how much everybody seems to be in agreement that he has the perfect sort of set of
00:59skills
00:59to be a really reliable and valuable role player in the NBA moving forward.
01:04But that's one that I think would be exciting.
01:06Another one, more of an offensive-oriented player from Texas named Daylon Swain.
01:11He is, according to a lot of experts, the best sort of one-on-one scorer in this draft.
01:16A guy that can really get a bucket at a high level.
01:19He's 6'8", maybe even 6'9", sort of a guard-wing hybrid.
01:23Could get Tyrese Maxey and Vijay Edge come off the ball a little bit more.
01:26Maxey specifically mentioned after the season wanting to play off the ball a little bit more,
01:30and I think that would definitely be to his benefit.
01:33Explain to someone that if he pans out, could do that.
01:35There are concerns about the jumper.
01:37There are concerns about, you know, can he do other sort of connective functions offensively
01:41to be more of a role player in the NBA.
01:43But there are a lot of people who have said, based on his earlier college tape and even his high
01:47school tape,
01:48that is something he can do in the future.
01:50So I think those are a couple guys that, if they're around a 22, the Sixers would probably be pretty
01:54excited.
