The Sixers worked out the best player at his position in college hoops. Did anyone care? | Mike Sielski

On Monday morning at their headquarters in Camden, three days before the NBA draft, the 76ers worked out the best player at his position in college basketball. No one seemed to care all that much, except him. He did not have an individual workout. Had his agent asked for one, the Sixers would have snickered at the audacity of such a request.

Instead, he joined five other players for a session that included a 3-on-3 full-court scrimmage. Most of the coaches and scouts ringing the court appeared to pay the minimum amount of attention to the action there; they commiserated with each other, glanced at their phones.
