Sixers' 2013 draft has turned out much different than advertised

ATLANTA - It sounds like an obvious question. Or maybe it's that the answer seems obvious. Will the 2013 NBA draft be remembered as a waste for the 76ers?

This isn't meant to criticize the players who were drafted. Nerlens Noel and Michael Carter-Williams are both talented players.

And yes, the Sixers did acquire a 2014 pick in that draft that led to their trading for Dario Saric, who is the team's starting power forward.

The Sixers did trade away an NBA all-star in Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Noel and the pick that eventually brought Saric to Philly.
