76ers select Isaiah Joe with No. 49 pick

With the No. 49 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers have selected guard Isaiah Joe out of Arkansas.

The sharpshooter was a key component of the Razorbacks' offense during his two-year spell with the program. A high-volume shooter, he averaged 9.1 3-point attempts per contest across two seasons. He converted at a 41.4% clip in his first year, which led the SEC and helped land him a spot on the conference's All-Freshman squad.

Joe announced he would return to the Razorbacks for a third season after initially declaring for the draft. However, he took advantage of the delayed early entry deadline to re-enter the draft in August.

Strengths

• Considered one of the best pure shooters available despite a dip in 3-point percentage last season (34.2% as a sophomore).
• Not short on confidence; he attempted 275 threes last season, the ninth-most in the country.
• Very dependable at the free-throw line; ranked third in the conference in 2019-20 at 89%.
• Has upside as a 3-and-D player thanks to his quick footwork and hands on the defensive end.

Weaknesses

• May need to add size to his frame.
• Prone to forcing up bad shots and missing open teammates.
• Missed three weeks in February due to arthroscopic knee surgery (though he averaged 20 points in six games upon his return).
