For a team that hasn’t made a lottery selection since, ugh, Markelle Fultz, the Sixers have done an exceptional job adding and developing talent through the draft.
In the late lottery and second round, they’ve turned selecting quality NBA players into a habit. It’s wild that clearly valuable players like this year’s first-round selection Jaden Springer and proven sharpshooter Isaiah Joe don’t even qualify for this list of Philly’s top five under 25.
The depth and quality of young talent available to the Sixers is a testament to the team’s scouting and player development departments.
