He hasn’t worn a Sixers uniform in nearly four years, but somehow Michael Carter-Williams is still finding ways to indirectly help his old team.
The Sixers finally used the pick they acquired in a three-team deal that sent the 2014 Rookie of the Year to Milwaukee over three years ago, opting to take Villanova forward Mikal Bridges at No. 10 overall at the NBA Draft Thursday night.
But then Brett Brown and company quickly traded Bridges to Phoenix for Zhaire Smith, the Texas Tech guard, and an unprotected 2021 first-round pick from the Suns via the Miami Heat.
