The Philadelphia 76ers enter an absolutely stacked 2017 NBA Draft, here are the best players at each position.
The Philadelphia 76ers have five selections in the 2017 NBA Draft. To help you follow the team’s interests, here are the top 75 prospects to sort through. Who will Philadelphia select?
The 2017 NBA Draft is so stacked, it provides an answer for any needs that your team may have. There are potential All-Stars at every position. The top of the draft is arguably the best group of prospects that we have seen in a long time, some would even say this is the best group since the historic 2003 NBA Draft. If the players turn out anything near as good as the top of the 2003 NBA Draft, I’m sure the teams picking will be more than satisfied.
I’m sure as we inch closer to draft day we will learn much more about each prospect and the position rankings will alter. There’s always a player or two who sky rockets up the draft boards a week or so before the draft. Gonzaga center Zach Collins has already asserted himself into a legit lottery prospect.

Injury Risk
Injuries to several prospects offers a boom-or-bust chance later in the draft. If your the Brooklyn Nets, with two late first round picks, there’s a chance that the injured OG Anunoby could be there, or even Duke center Harry Giles. After Giles’ poor NBA Combine, I think theres a high chances he will still be on the board when the Nets pick.
Take away these injuries, and Anunoby and Giles would have been no-doubt lottery picks. Giles would have most likely have been in the conversation for the number one overall pick considering the Boston Celtics’ needs of a rim protector.
