The 2022 NBA draft is less than two weeks away, and the Philadelphia 76ers have no shortage of targets in this pool of players. The Sixers will select 23rd, but even so late, there’s talent to be had. While the upcoming free-agent class is rather light on wings, this draft could fill all the Philadelphia 76ers’ needs in that department if they wanted it to.

As in any draft, there are questions about who will rise, who will fall, and which teams will make picks that could be considered a bit of a reach. This year is no different as there have already been some big-name risers – like Arizona’s Dalen Terry – and fallers, like LSU’s Tari Eason. On top of this, there always remains the possibility of trading up or down if a team falls for a particular prospect.

What’s curious is where the Sixers fit into this equation. Will they find themselves in a position to draft a top talent whose stock has drastically changed? Will they find themselves staying at 23 and drafting someone in range? Or will they fall for someone who won’t be available and potentially trade up? It’s important to know not only who these prospects are but who might be in and out of the Philadelphia 76ers draft range come the draft on June 23rd?

Who will be in the Philadelphia 76ers range at pick 23?
