Coming off a disastrous 19 win season the year before, the 76ers entered the 2014 NBA draft looking to add to their very young core. Already led by a Syracuse guard in Michael Carter Williams, Sam Hinkie and the rest of the front office felt it was only right to pair him up with a former college teammate.

With the 9th pick in the second round (39th overall), the 76ers drafted 20 year old small forward Jerami Grant.

Grant ticked off all the boxes when it came to what type of roster the Sixers were attempting to create in the mid-2010s.
