The Philadelphia 76ers are evaluating UConn forward Tarris Reed Jr. ahead of the 2026 NBA draft set for June 23. Reed, known for his physicality and rebounding skills, could address the team's issues on the defensive glass. Standing 6-foot-11 and weighing 265 pounds, he showcased his scoring ability during UConn's run to the national championship game. However, Reed's lack of a jump shot and limited athleticism may be concerns at the next level. The 76ers acquired their first-round pick through a prior trade, providing them an opportunity to strengthen their roster with young talent.
