Philly Influencer caught up with former Drexel University men’s basketball coach, Bruiser Flint, and ESPN’s senior college basketball analyst, Andy Katz, on South Street earlier today. There’s only one question Sixers fans care about from now until the NBA Draft, and that’s who will the Sixers decide to draft? It’ll likely be the first overall pick, so we asked Flint and Katz who they thought the Sixers should draft, Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram? Here’s their response:
Interesting how Katz says we can’t judge Ben Simmons based on his year at LSU. And Brandon Ingram is becoming more and more the popular pick as of late over Simmons. What do our readers think? Should the Sixers take Simmons or Ingram, or someone else?
