Kentucky teammates De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk could be potential fits for the Sixers with the third pick; could Briscoe join them in the second? The versatile Newark.

"He's a hell of a player," Lillard said of Senglin this season. [LINK:http://www.standard.net/Weber-State/2017/02/15/Damian-Lillard-Jeremy-Senglin-work-outs-Weber-State-basketball.]
