16. Isaiah Canaan
Christopher Kline
With a name tailor-made for NBA stardom, Isaiah Canaan got his brief moment in the spotlight during the dog days of “The Process”. A waterbug scorer, Canaan was undersized and inefficient, but it didn’t really matter at the time. He has also become the perfect mocking tool for Sixer fans who are salty about the Carsen Edwards trade.
With the Sixers, Canaan started 39 games, averaged 11.4 points per contest, and shot 36 percent from the field; and it was glorious. Back when pressure was nonexistent and counting stats were more for entertainment than serious analysis, Canaan was a darling.
15. Hollis Thompson
Lucas Johnson
I honestly don’t understand how Thompson is this low in the rankings. It’s true that the undrafted wing only averaged 7.9 points on 38.9 percent shooting from downtown in three and a half seasons with the 76ers, but he was so important to “The Process”.
He was of the few long-term players that head coach Brett Brown at his disposal during this rebuilding period. Despite all the roster turnover he was still on the team. He was arguably the best 3-point shooter of “The Process”. He ranks eighth in made 3-pointers all-time in Sixers franchise history.
