Sam Hinkie’s famous “Process” days with the Philadelphia 76ers involved a ton of roster turnover. Key role players were consistently traded away for draft picks, while the actual Sixers roster was made up of a mish-mash of undrafted free agents and rookies.
Similar to that of Nerlens Noel (who was highlighted last week), forward Hollis Thompson was one of the first players to play a key role in the Sixers “tanking” lineups of the mid-2010s. However, unlike that of Noel, Thompson was not a high draft pick, in fact, he had to fight and claw for a spot in the NBA.
