Philadelphia 76ers

Many mock drafts have the 76ers going with Jayson Tatum in with their pick, but Fox might be the better choice. The 76ers need a young point guard to pull the strings for this rising team and a player like Fox is the perfect fit, while Tatum is just an extra talent on the roster.

Sure, if you believe Philadelphia might start Ben Simmons at the point guard position, then Tatum is the right pick. However, I think this is a pipe-dream and Fox is likely to be on the roster in Philadelphia next year.
