Re-drafting Philadelphia 76ers 2007 picks

The Philadelphia 76ers could have had a huge 2007 NBA draft with the four picks they had, but they only came away with two players.

After trading Allen Iverson in the previous season, the Philadelphia 76ers could have entered a mini-rebuild. Sadly, the team didn’t embrace a full rebuild like they could have. They had four picks entering the 2007 NBA Draft, but only ended up having two rookies on the roster and one of them was because of a draft trade.

I previously wrote on re-drafting the 76ers pick in the 2006 NBA Draft. However, due to the fact that the Sixers only had one pick that draft, I failed to explain the parameters of how an article like this would work if Philly had multiple picks in the same draft. Considering that they have multiple in a lot of drafts beyond 2007, it’s important to establish parameters now.

I can only re-draft a player if they were drafted after the pick or went undrafted that year. That means if I skip on a good player with my first pick, I can’t draft them with my next one. If a pick was originally traded, then the original pick will be re-drafted and not the pick after the deal.

Entering the 2007 draft, the Sixers hade the 12th pick, 21st pick, 30th pick, 38th pick. Outside of the 12th pick, they used the rest of those picks in trades. However, if they had kept all four picks, what would their draft have looked like?
