Former Philadelphia 76ers players still in the NBA
Jrue Holiday
Besides Iguodala, Jrue Holiday is the only other player on this list that earned an All-Star berth as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. Holiday was one of the driving forces on the Doug Collins coached Sixers teams. As a member of the 76ers, he averaged 13.4 points, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game in four seasons. He was traded by Hinkie on draft night to the New Orleans Pelicans in 2013.
While he was primarily a point guard with Philly, he recently shifted to the shooting guard role with the Pelicans the last couple of seasons. Last season, he had career year and figures to be one of the stars on the Pelicans this season as the team is rebuilding with a lot of youth.

Jahlil Okafor
It’s sad to admit, but Jahlil Okafor could be one of the biggest bust in Sixers franchise history. It’s not completely on him either. He was drafted after the 76ers already had two young developing big men on the roster, one of which being All-Star Joel Embiid, so the situation wasn’t fair for him to succeed. Okafor didn’t put up bad numbers with Philly either, as he averaged 14.6 points and 5.9 rebounds in three seasons.
It wasn’t Okafor’s offense, as much as it was his defense that was just so horrendous that he couldn’t stay on the court. He had a brief stint with the Brooklyn Nets and may have found a home with the Pelicans. He’s shown improvement on the defensive end last year, so there’s optimism in that regard. He’s playing on a partially guaranteed deal this season, so it’s good to monitor his situation moving forward.
