2016 NBA Mock Draft: Lakers Slide, Celtics nab Simmons

Duke. Brandon Ingram. 1. player. 93. <p>Brandon Ingram is a game-changer at the No. 1 spot for Philly. The 6-10 forward has supreme athleticism coupled with a silky smooth offensive repertoire and, at age 18, is simply too good to pass up. He will add to the immense talent and size the Sixers should have available next season, with Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid and Dario Saric all in the mix for front court minutes.</p> <p>Ingram can slide right into the starting small forward role and help improve his new team on both ends of the floor. One of the more impressive parts of Ingram’s game is his ability to disrupt players on the defensive end. Philadelphia gave up 107.6 points a night this season and finished dead last in with a -10.2 differential. Ingram of course needs to bulk up, just as any 18-year old not named LeBron James has needed to in the past, but he already possess all of the physical tools to be a Paul George-like player in this league for years and years to come.</p> <p>The 76ers need a lot of help, and landing Ingram would be a spectacular start to the offseason. It won’t be easy for them to pass on Ben Simmons, but I think it’s ultimately the right move to make.</p> <p><em>To read more about Brandon Ingram, <a href=. SF
