With their 9th round selection, the
Philadelphia 76ers select
SG Malik Beasley out of Florida State.
The 76ers wanted to stay young and athletic in their backcourt and they add Beasley to a mix with Dennis Schroeder, Bradley Beal, and DeJounte Murray. Beasley might take a year or two to fully blossom but he comes into the SIM league with already above average to exceptional SPD, JMP, and 3P scores. The Sixers Coaching staff had a few vet role players on their board for the pick, but the FO couldn't turn down the shot to grab a guy that fits their push the ball up the court system with a Potential score in the 60's all the way down in the 9th round.
PG: Dennis Schroder / DeJounte Murray
SG: Bradley Beal / Malik Beasley
SF: Robert Covington / Thabo Sepholosha
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge
C: Nikola Vucevic / Clint Capela
Look for lots of small ball experimentation with Covinton at PF and an occasional defensive blitz lineup of Schroeder, Beal, Sepholosha, Covington, and Capela
