76ers receive No. 54 pick Shake Milton from Mavericks

With the No. 54 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected SMU guard Shake Milton, then reportedly traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers for the No. 56 and No. 60 selections.

Milton earned second-team All-AAC honors the past two seasons, showing off high-level versatility and shotmaking ability. At the NBA level, he'd likely take on a 3-and-D combo guard role.

In his three seasons, Milton proved to be an elite 3-point threat, hitting 42.7 percent of his attempts during his tenure at SMU. He averaged 18 points, 4.7 boards, and 4.4 assists in his junior year.
