2016 NBA Mock Draft: Sixers win the lottery, land Ben Simmons

Jaylen Brown . 10. player. 89. <p>It feels like no player’s reputation has suffered more in draft circles following the end of the college basketball season than California’s Jaylen Brown. Still ranked by some as a top five talent, he has been perceived by others as arrogant for his academic interests and a statement he made suggesting that his draft range is “1-to-10.”</p> <p>Certainly the 19-year old wing has his problems on the court. He isn’t much of a shooter from beyond the arc, making only 29.4 percent of his 102 three-point attempts as a freshman, and he did a poor job as a distributor for a player who had the ball in his hands as often as he did at Cal. Brown finished the season having turned it over on more possessions (17.9 percent) than possessions in which he generated an assist (15.3 percent).</p> <p></p> <p>So what still makes Brown an attractive prospect? For starters, he has all of the physical tools needed to guard multiple positions and play the wing spot in the NBA. He measured in at 6-7 with a near 7-0 wingspan at the draft combine. While at 223 pounds, he already has the physical size needed to compete against more mature opponents. Brown is at his best offensively when attacking the rim downhill from the perimeter. Notably, he drew 7.0 fouls per 40 minutes last season, the 30th highest mark in the country. With all of the physical attributes necessary to become a two-way NBA wing, the question is whether or not Brown can put his tool box to use at the next level.</p> <p>Brown’s fit in Milwaukee is certainly somewhat questionable given the Bucks’ needs at other positions, but he’s the most talented player remaining on the board and should help fill out the wing spot for head coach Jason Kidd.</p> <p><em>To read more about Jaylen Brown, <a href=.
