Friday morning will mark the 76ers’ third straight day of prospect workouts.
Here are some notes on the scheduled participants;
Bryce Brown
Auburn
Bryce Brown was a central figure to Auburn’s ascent the past two seasons, which
were highlighted by the program’s first NCAA Tournament berths in 15 years, and
the team’s first-ever Final Four appearance. He started every game he played as
a junior and senior, averaging 15.9 points per game in both campaigns. Brown
connected on a career-high 141 3-pointers last season (2nd in the nation), while
shooting 41.0 percent from behind the arc.
Christ Koumadje
Florida State
The first thing that’s hard to ignore about Christ Koumadje? His size, of
course. He’s listed at 7-foot-4, 268 pounds on Florida State’s official website.
Over the course of his four years in Tallahassee, Koumadje reportedly put on 50
pounds, and capped his career by averaging personal highs of 6.6 points and 5.6
rebounds as a senior. He also registered a career-best 52 blocked shots.
Koumadje is originally from Senegal, and played with Ben Simmons at Montverde
Academy.
Adam Mokoka
KK Mega Basket
Hailing from Paris, Adam Mokoka spent the past three seasons playing
professionally in Europe. He was a member of KK Mega Bemax of the Adriatic
League last year, and posted career-highs of 11.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.7
assists in 28.4 minutes per game. The 6-foot-5, 190-pound Mokoka put his name
into the draft in 2018, but ultimately withdrew. He’s 20 years old, and received
the 2018 French LNB Pro A Rising Star Award.
Zach Norvell, Jr.
Gonzaga
The top perimeter shooter by volume last season in the West Coast Conference,
Zach Norvell Jr. connected on 97 triples in his sophomore campaign at Gonzaga.
He also shot 37.0% from deep, good for second-best in the WCC. Between his two
years with the Bulldogs, each of which netted 30 wins, Norvell Jr. combined to
average 13.8 and 4.1 rebounds per game. His father is a former player at New
Mexico State, and coaches high school hoops in Chicago.
Josh Sharma
Stanford
Assuming a featured role in Stanford’s rotation for the first time in his
career, Josh Sharma delivered a strong senior season. He racked up 10.2 points
and 7.1 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per game. His splits spiked dramatically across
the board compared to previous years. A highly-efficient 7-footer, Sharma paced
the Pac-12 in 2-point efficiency, converting 68.0% of his attempts.
Justin Simon
St. John’s
A season after leading the Big East in steals and defensive rating, Simon in
2019 became just the third player in St. John’s history to claim conference
Defensive Player of the Year honors. He spent two campaigns with the Red Storm,
averaging 11.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game after transferring
from Arizona. The Temecula, CA native was a top-rated point guard coming out of
high school, and won a national prep title with the New Hampshire-based Brewster
Academy.
