30. Dewayne Dedmon

Dewayne Dedmon did not blossom as an NBA player while playing with the Sixers. However, he was still on the team. Dedmon played 11 games for the Sixers in 2013-14, while averaging 3.4 points and 4.5 rebounds. Dedmon’s stint just has me looking back on team’s in the past few years that could’ve actually used his talent.
29. Thomas Robinson
Justin DiVirgilio
Thomas Robinson was a former Big 12 Player of the Year award winner. Did that translate to the NBA? Nope. That was ok by the time he landed with the 76ers in 2014-15 season, who were in full “Process” mode by then. Robinson played 22 games for the Sixers and played every single last one with the high motor that he was known for coming into the league. He averaged 8.8 points and 7.7 rebounds per game with Philly.
28. Brandon Davies
Justin DiVirgilio
Brandon Davies lasted 2 seasons in the NBA, one and a half seasons were spent with the 76ers. Davies played a total of 71 games with the team. With Phily, he averaged 3.8 points and 2.6 rebounds. Davies was just a guy who played hard and stayed on a 2013-14 Sixers team that saw 25 players don their uniforms.
27. Jason Richardson

Jason Richardson was one of the only veterans on the first “Process” teams. Richardson played 52 games in his three years with the team, missing one entire season with a knee injury. During his stint with the Sixers, he averaged 10.0 points and 3.7 rebounds. Richardson was key during his stint as he was one of the only recognizable faces on the team.
26. Elton Brand
Justin DiVirgilio
Elton Brand has had 2 different stints (2008-2012 and 2016) as a player and is now the GM of the Philadelphia 76ers. As a player on the Sixers, he averaged 12.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. Brand’s return to the team in 2016 as a player then led him to taking a player development consultant job, taking the GM job of the then Delaware 87ers, and finally becoming GM of the 76ers.
Brand’s influence has been felt on the roster with other “Process” era members. As well as cleaning up Bryan Colangelo’s awful, but short, time as GM and accelerating “The Process” to where it was destined to be, in the championship conversation.
