After years of losing, the Sixers finally pieced together the beginning of a product that fans can be excited for.
For a Sixers team that has dealt with losing at an unprecedented rate over the past few seasons, this Draft was a victory that Philly fans have been waiting for ever since Sam Hinkie took them down the proverbial road of “the Process.”
The Hinkie-induced streak of losing that worked them consistently closer to their goal of a first pick finally paid off, and the Sixers made out with what was arguably the most effective combination of talents taken off the board. After years of injury-riddled big men and moving forth with a plan that was never truly clear, Bryan Colangelo finally turned the tides with a draft that had a defined purpose, geared towards gathering a group of high character, versatile pieces that fill voids that the Sixers haven’t been able to fill in the past.
