NBA mock draft: Sixers take Texas scorer Tre Johnson No. 6 overall

The Philadelphia 76ers have 10 games left in the 2024-25 season as they look to play out the string and then prepare for what will certainly be an interesting offseason. Expected to be championship contenders, the Sixers fell flat as they have dealt with a ton of injuries that derailed any title hopes.

As the Sixers head into the final stretch, the focus is on being in the best position to keep their lottery pick that's only top 6 protected. They will find out their fate on May 12 when the draft lottery takes place, but should they keep their pick, there will be no shortage of options for Philadelphia.

A mock draft performed by Bleacher Report has the Sixers selecting Texas scorer Tre Johnson with the No. 6 overall pick:

Tre Johnson's final performance in the NCAA tournament painted a fairly accurate picture of the scouting report.
He wowed with perimeter creation, footwork for separation and rhythm, balance on his jumpers and high-level shotmaking skill from on and off the ball. He also settled at times and struggled to get himself easy baskets at the rim or free throws.
He's still too skilled, productive and competitive for a 6'6" 19-year-old for teams to nitpick the weaknesses. Johnson will look like an easy fit and sure-fire scorer/shooter to plug in right away. He'll likely start to draw serious consideration closer to No. 4 or No. 5, based on the idea that it's difficult to reach a certain level of stardom relying so heavily on tough pull-ups or step-backs without offering another layer of playmaking or impact defense.

Johnson would be an excellent addition to this team's roster as a scorer off the bench. He would add a different dynamic as somebody who can get to the basket with one or two dribbles and his athleticism would bring a much-needed aspect to a team who's bench unit was a bit out of date at times.
