With the 23rd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the Sixers select... a 24 year-old guard out of the Memphis Grizzlies, De’Anthony Melton! ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski predicted we’d see a lot of trades, but we didn’t see as much veteran shake up as we might have expected. Melton was one of the bigger names to relocate and the 76ers landed a guard who is already good and has upside to get even better.
Daryl Morey wasn’t allowed to weigh in on specifics, because even though the deal was announced, it wasn’t official.
