93. This is the Philadelphia 76ers’ second pick of three in this draft and after taking Ben Simmons No. 1 overall, Malik Beasley would be an amazing pick at No. 24. While Philadelphia does have some talented big man, outside shooting was a bit of an issue for them in 2015-16 and Beasley could immediately help shore that issue up. <p>Beasley is a one-and-done, 6-5 wing out of Florida State University who averaged 15.6 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 47 percent overall and nearly 39 percent from 3-point range. Beasley’s offensive abilities are his calling card right now, but the young prospect showed brief glimpses into his defensive abilities while in the NCAA ranks as well.</p> <p>He could form his game into a “3 and D” model and he certainly has all of the necessary skills to do so. Philadelphia is under a new regime as Sam Hinkie was shown the door and fans can expect numerous changes heading into the 2016-17 season. If there are not minutes available for Beasley, the Sixers also have a D-League affiliate in the Delaware 87ers where he could continue to improve within their system, under the same schemes and lingo so that when they need him, he’s ready.</p> <p><em>To read more about Malik Beasley, <a href=.
