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

170. <p>There is quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding Charlotte’s back court entering the offseason with Courtney Lee and Nicolas Batum entering free agency and Jeremy Lin likely to opt out of his contract. Finding a young scoring guard could provide the Hornets with some insurance should they not be able to retain those players.</p> <p>Florida State’s Malik Beasley was one of the most efficient scoring guards in the country last season. His 54.1 effective field goal percentage ranks second among freshmen shooting guard prospects in the draft class. He made 38.7 percent of his 142 three-point attempts playing as a freshman in one of the toughest conferences in the country and his peripheral numbers (2.2 threes made per 40 minutes and an 81.3 free throw percentage) suggest that he’s a good bet to be a solid shooter in the NBA. He is also an explosive athlete who can attack the rim, especially in transition. Beasley finished 68.0 percent of his attempts at the rim this year, according to hoop-math, so he can be more than just at three-point shooter as well.</p> <p>Beasley doesn’t have great size (6-4.5 with a 6-7 wingspan), so he’ll have to rely on his quickness and athleticism defensively to stay in front his man and challenge offensive shot makers. He’s a gambler in passing lanes, which can sometimes lead to highlight plays in transition, but can also give his man open looks. Beasley averaged a decent 1.3 steals per 40 minutes in college, but will need to be coached to play with more discipline at the next level.</p> <p><em>To read more about Malik Beasley, <a href=. SG.
