Hope for someone to fall

The way I see the draft is that there are eight elite prospects: Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Joel Embiid, Dante Exum, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, Noah Vonleh and Marcus Smart. If any of them fall to No. 10 — which is highly conceivable — the Sixers should snap them up without asking a question, whatever the fit is. They are not in a position to be worrying about fit and need to take the best player available.
