Meet Haywood Highsmith, Sixers’ workout attendee

The Philadelphia 76ers held workouts earlier this week with free agent veterans Arron Afflalo, Sean Kilpatrick and Brandon Rush. They also allowed Haywood Highsmith to audition, who plays for the Sixers’ G-League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. The 6’7”, 220 lbs forward went undrafted in the 2018 NBA draft, and he will be 22 years old in just two days.

Highsmith played college ball at Wheeling Jesuit University, a small, Catholic, Division II college situated in the mountains of West Virginia. How obscure of a basketball institution is Wheeling Jesuit?
