With the Milwaukee Bucks knocking off the Phoenix Suns to win their first NBA title since 1971, the focus around the NBA is now on the July 29 draft. Teams are beginning to bring in potential prospects and begin to figure out what they will do with their selections.
The Philadelphia 76ers have picks at 28 and 50 in the upcoming draft and they have to decide what they plan to do with either selection. They have begun to bring in prospects into the facility to figure out what each player can do and they brought in an interesting one on Wednesday.
The Sixers brought in Iowa All-American big man Luka Garza on Wednesday for a workout and he is somebody who could be selected at 28. Garza averaged 24.1 points and 8.7 rebounds and he shot 44% from deep on 3.2 attempts in his senior season with the Hawkeyes.
Former Iowa center Luka Garza worked out for the #Sixers today. He’s the 2021 consensus NCAA national player of the year. He’s also Iowa’s first two-time unanimous consensus first-team All-American. Garza is projected to go late first round to mid second round in the #NBA draft. pic.twitter.com/xH8UBfQOaX

Philadelphia needs some big man depth behind Joel Embiid as well as Tobias Harris so bringing in a guy like Garza for a workout suggests that president Daryl Morey sees the lack of bench help for his star. There is a chance that the Sixers could trade this selection, but going with a guy like Garza would be a nice addition.
