Report: Mudiay to work out for Sixers on June 16

Emmanuel Mudiay is expected to have dinner with the 76ers on June 15 and work out for the team the next day, according to SNY.TV.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound point guard is projected as a top-five pick in the June 25 draft, and could go as high as third to the Sixers.

The 19-year-old averaged 18.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.6 steals this past season for the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association. He only played in 12 games – 10 in the regular season- due to an ankle injury.

But Mudiay is imposing, like Chester native and New Orleans Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans.

The Congo native moved to Dallas in 2001 with his family to escape a war. Mudiay was rated the No. 2 college prospect in the Class of 2014 by Rivals.com as a senior at Dallas' Prime Prep. After committing in August 2014 to play at Southern Methodist, he instead opted last summer to sign a one-year, $1.2 million deal to play in China.
