Sixers likely to draft center Khaman Maluach
As March Madness continues, college basketball players are showcasing their skills. NBA teams are watching closely, especially those looking to rebuild. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of these teams, preparing for the upcoming draft. The Sixers are monitoring several prospects. Among the players being discussed are Cooper Flagg and Ace Bailey. One name that stands out is Khaman Maluach, a center from Duke. Maluach has had a notable freshman season, averaging 8.4 points and 6.8 rebounds while shooting 70.2% from the field. Maluach has been recognized for his strong performance and is a member of the ACC All-Freshman Team. At 7 feet 2 inches tall, he is seen as a potential backup for Joel Embiid. His ability to protect the rim and score efficiently makes him a valuable asset for the Sixers. Experts believe that Maluach's shooting skills could improve his draft value. While he is not yet a strong perimeter shooter, his potential gives reason for optimism. If the Sixers select him, they would add depth to their center position, which could be beneficial if Embiid needs rest or is injured. As the draft approaches, the Sixers will weigh their options. Adding a talent like Maluach could be a significant step for the team’s future.
