A little over two-and-a-half hours after picking LSU's Ben Simmons with the No.1 overall pick, the Philadelphia 76ers used the No.24 pick to select Timothe Luwawu, a 6-foot-6 small forward from France. He averaged 14.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over 30.1 minutes per game for Mega Leks.
"My game, I like to say that I'm a complete player, I like to play defense, offense. I like to bring energy to the court. It's going to be huge to play with the first pick in the draft," said Luwawu after being picked.
Here's the scouting report on Luwawu from NBA Draft Express:
A player we've covered in significant detail earlier this season, Timothe Luwawu's season came to a slightly premature end as he suffered an ankle injury in late May that held him out of the Serbian League playoffs. One of the biggest riserx among international prospects this season, the talented Frenchman showed massive improvement from last season ending the year averaging 14.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over 30.1 minutes per game. Possessing terrific size and athleticism for a wing to go along with an improving frame, Luawau's intrigue at the NBA level has always started with his physical tools, but his improved jump shot and play in a large role for prospect-rich Mega Leks are the reason he's regarded as highly as he is heading into the 2016 NBA Draft.
Philadelphia reportedly tried very hard to move back into the top-8 in the draft to select a guard, but couldn't complete a deal. They had reportedly offered Nerlens Noel, Robert Covington along with the 24th and 26th selections in the draft to both the Celtics at No.3 and the T'Wolves at No.5. Boston ended up picking Jaylen Brown with the third overall pick while Minnesota picked Kris Dunn, a guard that Philadelphia was potentially targeting if they were able to move up in the draft.
