2011 NBA Mock Draft: Philadelphia 76ers Grew a Lot This Season

A case can be made that the 76ers played the Miami Heat just as tough as the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls did. 

The 76ers have tons of young talented guards and I think they need to find a way to add some young big men to their rotation in this draft. 

Safe Pick: When you get outside of the lottery, there are less "safe picks". For the 76ers, they are doing the equivalent of bargain shopping. I think Kenneth Faried would be a relatively safe pick for a team that could use a little more defensive and rebounding, since who knows how much longer Elton Brand can be a starter on this team and in this league. 

High Risk/High Reward: I like Oakland's Keith Benson here. This is much higher than any other draft boards have him, but I think Benson could be a great shot blocker at the next level. He also has some skilled post moves. 

Intriguing Option: Using Andre Iguodala as draft day trade bait.
