Philadelphia 76ers: 5 options for pick No. 60 in 2018 NBA Draft

2. Allonzo Trier, SG — Arizona

Another former top recruit, Allonzo Trier came into the college basketball game with sky-high expectations. Now that’s not to say he didn’t live up to them, but he also didn’t do enough to convince NBA coaches he’s capable of contributing quality minutes consistently.

On the surface, Trier is a special kid. He’s a plus athlete who shines with the basketball in his hands. The big problem is that, when the ball winds up in his grip, it typically doesn’t leave. He’s your classic ball hog, believing too much in hero ball and his ability to create his own shots instead of taking a team-first approach to putting points on the board.

Beyond his knack for holding the ball too long, Trier isn’t a great defender and doesn’t have the feel to see minutes at the point. So essentially, he’s limited to a shooter role. While he can clearly put the ball in the basket (50 percent from the field, 38 percent from deep, 86.5 percent from the line in 2017-18), NBA teams are going to be wary of his one-trick pony potential.

With all of that said, the upside is there. Trier was the 18th-ranked player of the 2015 high school class (via ESPN.com), so we can’t completely count him out yet. The 76ers could always use more shooting — Trier certainly brings that to the table.

You have to have faith that your coaching staff can take pure talent and turn it into production. There may be some concerns about Trier, but he’s a risk worth taking this late in the draft.
