Training camp hasn’t come yet and it seems like an appropriate time to do an article reflecting on the Philadelphia 76ers draft history. The idea for this article originally came from Joshua Buckhalter of Soaring Down South.
In his piece, Buckhalter wrote about the best non-lottery pick for the Atlanta Hawks. With all the first round picks the Sixers have had in recent history, it seems like a good idea to re-hash this idea with a 76ers twist to it.
This article will only include players drafted after 1985 when the draft lottery was incorporated into the NBA.
