One could argue that the 2017 NBA Draft undid a lot of the positive work that Sam Hinkie did as general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers during what was deem “The Process”. Bryan Colangelo, who replaced Hinkie as the top decision-maker, not only traded away what would become the 14th pick of 2019 NBA Draft, but the player selected as a result of that trade was ineffective during this time in Philly.
Now to be clear, to blame Markelle Fultz for his freak thoracic outlet syndrome injury and the negative impact it had on him while on the Sixers wouldn’t be fair.
