In the absence of second round picks, can the Philadelphia 76ers, and specifically general manager Sam Hinkie, find talent in their D-league franchise, the Delaware 87ers? Perhaps several players will find an opportunity. If you are Russ Smith, you have placed your name into the Rolodex of virtually every NBA general manager this spring. He had a 50 point game earlier in the season, and then exploded for 65 points in a game on March 24, 2016. Just wow. He’s going to get offers.
It was an exciting night for player and fans. But most of all for the young man who electrified the court with an offensive pummeling that was amazing.
