The Sixers want to add size and post depth, and Motiejunas is a 7-footer that can really score well in the post. The Sixers are also hoping that a guy like Jonas Valanciunas or Tristan Thompson could fall to them. Nikola Vucevic could also be a sleeper for the Sixers' pick. There is a chance that Motiejunas and/or Valanciunas could withdraw from the NBA Draft by the June 13 deadline. If this were to happen, the Sixers could explore trading their pick to move later in the first round or possibly even out of the first round. The Hoops Report

Interesting, but I have hard time seeing that the 76ers would pass on Markief Morris.
If Tristan is there they might. They don't need another PF, but a PURE Center. Hawes is good, but they need another 7 Ft body in the Paint. Morris is a pure PF at best, he can't man the Center Position.
They have Brand, Speights, and a couple of Vets at PF. They might be looking to add more size at the Center spot to combat Teams without Centers and win Games that way.
