    When the Sixers landed the No. 2 pick in the lottery, a couple of different scenarios came into the picture.

    If the team went with Evan Turner, he'd fill a similar role to Andre Iguodala, which means Iguodala could be on the trade block.

    The Wolves, who are drafting fourth, are reportedly hot after Turner, so it was possible they might try and trade up into the No. 2 spot to grab him.

    But in ESPN's Chad Ford's Mock Draft 3.0, which was released Wednesday, it looks like the Sixers could be leaning towards Georgia Tech big man Derrick Favors.

    If that's the case, it may help the Wolves land Turner at No. 4. Ford currently has Turner slated at No. 3 to the Nets, but they are also debating whether to grab Syracuse's Wesley Johnson.

    So there's a possibility neither the Sixers or Nets grab Turner, and he could fall to the Wolves.

    But it still seems like the surest way to assure themselves of Turner is to trade ahead of the Nets.
