5. Philadelphia 76ers Select Dennis Smith, PG, North Carolina State
Year: Freshman
T.J. McConnell hasn't been terrible in his stint as starting point guard, but there's no question that his skill set is limited. Ultimately, with McConnell and Gerald Henderson as the current starting backcourt in Philly, the Sixers could desperately use an infusion of athleticism. Enter Smith, who has a bit of athleticism and can fill it up offensively. A core of Smith, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Dario Saric and Robert Covington (and another potential Top-5 pick should the Lakers fall out of the Top 3) suddenly looks awfully nice. (Getty)
