The Sixers’ 22nd pick, Stanford’s Ebuka Okorie, is a lightning-fast scorer who averaged over 23 points last season, thriving at the rim and hitting 35% from three. His explosive athleticism and scoring versatility could ignite Philly’s bench, despite his small frame and limited playmaking. With Maxey already leading the backcourt, Okorie’s self-created offense might be the perfect fit to add depth and firepower.
