Both players fill needs for Philadelphia and can do a lot of different things on the offensive end.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, especially, is somebody who can put the ball in the basket in a hurry. He averaged 19.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while shooting 39.7% from deep in his freshman season with the Longhorns and showed an ability to put the ball on the floor and be able to keep the scoreboard moving.<\/p>\n<p>Yahoo!

There is so much that he can bring to the table and one has to wonder if the Sixers will select him at 3 just to add some microwave scoring to the bench unit. He can get hot in a hurry and carry an offense from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Sixers Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/sixerswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nba\/sixers\/2025\/05\/23\/what-is-2025-sixers-draft-prospect-tre-johnsons-nba-comparison\/83797727007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:What is 2025 Sixers draft prospect Tre Johnson&#039;s NBA comparison?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">What is 2025 Sixers draft prospect Tre Johnson&#8217;s NBA comparison?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the Philadelphia 76ers continue through with this current draft process, they will have a handful of viable&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3769],"tags":[679,7,98,189,6,191,13807,678,207,3817,952,492,13806,971],"class_list":{"0":"post-52787","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-76ers","8":"tag-76ers","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-draft","11":"tag-miami-heat","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-new-york-knicks","14":"tag-nick-young","15":"tag-philadelphia","16":"tag-philadelphia-76ers","17":"tag-philadelphia76ers","18":"tag-tre-johnson","19":"tag-tyler-herro","20":"tag-viable-options","21":"tag-vj-edgecombe"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114559659943890418","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
