Sixers Draft Workouts: June 19th

We're falling behind again, but the Sixers brought in at least one legit guy. Let's take a look.

Ryan Anderson F 5'10 235 Sophomore California

He's got a nice shot and some range, and his combination of size and shooting could be a nice match for the Sixers. Anderson is a high energy player who can pull down a bunch of rebounds. His toughness and shot blocking potential are assets, but I'm not sure how much he fits the Sixers' system. The knock in scouting reports is his athleticism, which the Sixers really covet now. There's no denying his scoring ability though. If the Sixers like that enough, the 16th pick might be a bit of a reach, but they could trade down.

Kentrell Gransberry PF 6'9 270 Senior South Florida

As a Bull, I'm definitely pulling for this guy. As a Big Baby fan and someone who believed he fell way too far in the draft last year, I'm obligated to like a similar player in Gransberry. He has a wide body and plays a very physical game on both ends of the floor. He's obviously not the quickest guy, but most teams always have a spot for a big player in the paint. DX was underwhelmed with his draft camp performances and measurements, so he has some work to do if he wants to raise his slim hopes of being drafted.

David Padgett C 6'11 250 Senior Louisville

He's a hard working player who was very important to Louisville's deep run this year, but the reality is, he just doesn't have the tools NBA teams look for. I know people really dislike it when teams take raw athletes over productive players, but he's not on any draft boards at the moment. Padgett is a very smart player, and he uses it on both ends of the floor. He has a bunch of different low post moves, but he could probably add a jumper to his repertoire.

Marreese Speights FC 6'10 250 Sophomore Florida

He got an opportunity to learn from some of college's best big guys as a freshman, so it wasn't a surprise that Speights showed promise when he started getting a lot more minutes this season. He shows a lot of scoring ability on the offensive end, which could be a huge asset to the Sixers. His size and athleticism give him the potential to be a very good defensive player, so it's easy to see why he's a projected mid-first rounder. He's still pretty raw, but with the Sixers, he would be stepping into a great situation. He'll be able to chip in a few minutes off the bench and learn the NBA game slowly.

The Sixers had Callistus Eziukwu in for a second time as well. They must really think they have something with him if they brought him back.
