Most believe that Fultz and Ball are 1 and 2. Since 76ers own the 3rd pick in the draft, it is the pick that seems really interesting in the sense of how it will shape the rest of the draft. Philly is loaded with funky tall ballhandlers like Simmons and Šarić, but also Embiid, who is someone that will command a lot of the offense to go through him in the halfcourt. They will look for shooting this summer to help those 3 guys out by spacing wider. I think that J.Jackson is a more creative player than Isaac, but also a much trickier piece to incorporate into the core group. IMO Jonathan Isaac seems like a better fit than Jackson. He looks like a modern utility wing prospect that could form a huge lineup in Philly with the rest of their young players.

They need a shooter, so Tatum is the best choice. You can't play both Jackson and Simmons together as both don't spread the floor.

That's why I wrote that Isaac is the better pick there. I can see Tatum going to NY, at the 8th pick. I think both of these guys have a higher ceiling than Tatum while also giving a better chance of guarding NBA 3's.
