Contrary to what people might thinks, the Philadelphia 76ers have actually had their faire share of successes when it comes to developing young talent. While the narrative has been largely centered on the franchise finding a way to dip their fingers into every available sweepstakes for various All-Stars, the front office has also been able to find young players who can fit well on the roster.
But prior to the 76ers finding hidden gems such as Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, and Justin Edwards, Philly was known to be a team that put much more premium on relying on proven veteran commodities instead of investing court time to younger prospects who profile as NBA-caliber cogs.
