• Could 76ers Target Precious Achiuwa?
  The Philadelphia 76ers are set to have quite the task on their hands this offseason, as they'll be certain to attempt to retain Guerschon Yabusele, who they took a gamble on last season, penning him to a one-year deal. This bet would more than pay off, as the Frenchman would prove to be one of the Sixers' more impactful players, appearing in 70 matches in which he'd average 11 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Given his successful return to the league, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to see plenty of teams reach out and attempt to land the 29-year-old, which would leave Philadelphia with a massive hole in their plans. This would inevitably lead them to look elsewhere in the league for a replacement, which could point them towards the New York Knicks' Precious Achiuwa.

It is a bold swing in a projection that sees bigger names like Khaman Maluach and Derik Queen fall into the teens, but Coward checks several boxes Toronto tends to value.
