Glenn Robinson III

There haven’t been many rumors spread this trade season, but the Sixers’ interest in a capable wing is one. Glenn Robinson III checks the box for everything a general manager may look for in a final addition to a championship-caliber roster.

He can shoot and defend at a high level. On a team with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, all you’re really asking for is a player that can step in and shoot from deep consistently, a Tobias Harris-like player for the second unit.

Robinson III is the quintessential player for that role.

Shooting over 39% from downtown, Robinson is having the best season of his career, also notching over 12 points per game, more than double his previous career-high. With numerous 20-point performances, Robinson III would fit in well behind Harris.

A second-round pick is little to ask for as well. It gets Golden State a much-needed pick while securing Philadelphia a piece that they desperately need to take their team to the next level.
