One of Erie’s affiliates is still holding onto hopes of an NBA Finals berth, although it’s not looking good for the Cleveland Cavaliers. As for the Philadelphia 76ers, they’re still in the search for a head coach, but they also have to be looking ahead to the upcoming NBA Draft.
Ths Sixers own the rights to the 17th selection in round one and do not have a second round pick. It’s unlikely that the player selected in that spot will spend much time with the Erie BayHawks, but it’s certainly possible. With that in mind, here’s a sampling of mock draft selections collected from around the Internet.

B.J. Mullens, C, Ohip State
Three of the mock drafts have Philadelphia taking a point guard, which makes a lot of sense, especially if they do not re-sign Andre Miller, who is a free agent. Lawson would definitely help ignite the break and pair well with Andre Iguodala and Thaddeus Young.
B.J. Mullens would be more of a project, and I could actually see him benefitting from some work in the D-League fine-tuning his game after playing just one year with the Buckeyes.
Still, it’s probable that Philadelphia’s pick will remain with the 76ers, especially considering their relatively uninvolved status during the BayHawks’ inaugural season. I’d be much more willing to bet that one or both of Cleveland’s picks ends up in a BayHawks uniform before the 76ers pick does.
