Sixers to Work Out Oral Roberts' Kevin Obanor Soon

The 2021 NBA Draft is just a few weeks away. With the combine officially in the rearview, the Philadelphia 76ers are onto the next phase of the offseason, where they'll begin hosting potential prospects in Camden, New Jersey, for a private workout.

According to Stadium's Jeff Goodman, former Oral Roberts standout Kevin Obanor will be one of several prospects that will work out for the Sixers over the next couple of weeks.

In addition to holding a workout with the Sixers, which is scheduled for sometime next week, Obanor also plans to work out for the Orlando Magic and has already concluded workouts with the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Former Oral Roberts standout Kevin Obanor’s preference is to remain in the NBA Draft process, but he’s covering his bases by entering the transfer portal. He’s worked out for Golden State, working out for the Cavs today, has Philadelphia and Orlando scheduled for next week.

Although Obanor is quite deep into the pre-draft process at this point, he has many options beyond remaining in the draft and landing with an NBA team. Like many others, the Junior forward is just testing the waters before the draft.

But, if Obanor does decide to withdraw himself from the big event this year, it seems he won't be returning to Oral Roberts either. No matter what, Obanor will be on a new team next year, whether it's in the NCAA or the NBA.

If he stays in the NBA Draft, Obanor could be a potential candidate to land in Philly. As the Sixers have a need for a forward who can stretch the floor, Obanor fits the ideal description as he averaged 46-percent from beyond the arc last year while averaging 18 points per game in 28 games.

Whether he'll remain in the NCAA or not is unclear at the moment. Per Goodman's report, Obanor prefers to stay on the course to the NBA, but he still has a little bit of time to figure out if he's sure about it or not.
