Cleveland Cavaliers- Jabari Parker

The Cavaliers want a guy who they know will contribute right away. Cleveland is in win now mode with trying to lure big Free Agents and keep their all star point guard, Kyrie Irving. Although Andrew Wiggins may be the better fit with the Cavaliers, he may take some time to develop into the star that we all think he can be. For Sixers fans, the Cavs taking Joel Embiid would be the best case scenario but that most likely won’t happen anymore.

The Cavs are now reportedly leaning toward selecting Jabari Parker with the No. 1 pick: http://t.co/PBNpASgVw8 — SLAM Magazine (@SLAMonline) June 22, 2014

Milwaukee Bucks – Dante Exum

There have been many reports saying that the Bucks really like Australian point guard, Dante Exum. The Bucks currently have Brandon Knight as their starting PG and that isn’t such a good thing. The Bucks could go with Andrew Wiggins here but they have not shown anything that says they are in love with him. Also, some other mock drafts have Exum getting picked here. Their liking of Exum could just be a smokescreen so that the Sixers don’t trade up to #1 to take Wiggins from them. For Sixers fans, this leaves the main target still on the board.

Philadelphia 76ers – Andrew Wiggins

Alas, the player we have wanted all along is coming to Philly. At this point, there is no one left on the board that’ll make the Sixers think twice about taking Wiggins. The shooting guard position is cemented for the next few years and maybe much more if he pans out. Not much else to say here except that the Sixers have started this draft off perfectly.

Orlando Magic – Marcus Smart

The Magic couldn’t get their hands on Dante Exum, so they have to settle with the next best thing, Marcus Smart. This now gives them a very competitive, hardworking player in their backcourt to pair up with Victor Oladipo. Sixers fans do not want the Magic to pick Joel Embiid here, we want him to fall to the Celtics.

Utah Jazz – Noah Vonleh

This pick doesn’t mean much for Sixers fans, as long as Embiid isn’t picked than it is a good thing. I haven’t really heard anything about the Jazz wanting Aaron Gordon so I don’t see him getting picked here.

Boston Celtics- Joel Embiid

This is the biggest pick for Sixers fans who want to see Aaron Gordon in Philadelphia. Before the Joel Embiid injury, there was a great chance that Gordon falls here. There still is a good chance they choose him here but I don’t see the Celtics passing on a player like Embiid. The Celtics front court isn’t very promising, it consists of Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk. The Celtics could really make an upgrade if they pick Embiid, they just have to be willing to take the risk. Picking Embiid here would be great value, similar to the Sixers grabbing (Trading For) Nerlens Noel with the 6th pick last year. For Sixers fans, this is the pick you want to pay attention to.

Los Angeles Lakers- Julius Randle

With Kobe Bryant on his last legs, the Lakers need someone who will come in, work hard, and contribute right away. Julius Randle showed in the NCAA Tournament that he can be a force in the paint. Randle can use his size and strength to get to the hoop and get rebounds. It is very likely that Randle will average a double-double for most of his career. For Sixers fans, Randle could have fallen to ten but it’s better that he gets picked here and leaves Aaron Gordon on the board.

Sacramento Kings- Elfrid Payton

I’m not going to lie, I have never seen Elfrid Payton play, but a lot of mocks have him going here and this is a spot where Aaron Gordon could very well get picked. If Gordon makes it past the Kings, he will be there for the Sixers to take.

Charlotte Hornets- Nik Stauskas

The Hornets don’t need another athletic guy who can’t shoot, they need a perimeter shooter. Stauskas or McDermott would be the logical picks here. The Sixers front office/fans can now breathe.

Philadelphia 76ers – Aaron Gordon

Aaron Gordon would be a great fit with the Sixers. He would be a perfect addition to Michael Carter-Williams, Andrew Wiggins, and Nerlens Noel. Like Wiggins, Gordon can step in right away and be an elite defender in the NBA. The Sixers will be much improved on both ends of the court with this pick.
