Sixers to interview top draft prospects

It's all about the talk now.

Even though the NBA draft combine on-court workouts are set for Thursday and Friday in Chicago, the top players the 76ers are considering chose to avoid action on the court.

Instead, the players will concentrate on the interviews that begin Wednesday afternoon at a downtown Chicago hotel.

So the Sixers will, too.

"You want to learn more about the person," said Bryan Colangelo, the Sixers' president of basketball operations. "You want to learn more about their thinking."

The goal, Colangelo said, is to find out as much as possible about the 20 prospects they are scheduled to interview this week.
