Re-drafting Philadelphia 76ers 2007 picks
21st pick
The Philadelphia 76ers drafted Daequan Cook with the 21st pick, but he, along with cash and a 2009 second round pick was traded for Jason Smith, the 20th pick. Cook was a streaky 3-point shooter that lasted six seasons in the NBA. Smith became a journeyman center in the NBA and last played in 2018-19 season.
There are a couple of good choices here, but Wilson Chandler is the right choice here. Arron Afflalo, Aaron Brooks, and Tiago Splitter might have been solid choices at this spot, but none had the longevity of their career that Chandler has had.
