Reports were circling all week that the Sixers would be trading the 28th pick for a veteran player that could help the team now. They ended up taking Jaden Springer, a guard from Tennessee.
Philadelphia also had two second-round picks where they went “big” with their selections, taking two centers. The 76ers ended up taking Adriatic League MVP Filip Petrusev and Western Kentucky’s Charles Bassey. With those two picks, they addressed a major issue that the team endured in the 2020-21 season.
