The team's past draft decisions, mainly taking Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons No. 1, has hampered the team's progress around draft gem Joel Embiid.
PHILADELPHIA -- The NBA Draft tips off Thursday at 8 p.m. on ABC/ESPN, which brings to mind a question regarding the Sixers' future: Just how much pressure is on the team to get tonight and the rest of the offseason right?
For example, imagine where the Sixers might be if, instead of taking Ben Simmons with the first overall pick in 2016, they took Brandon Ingram, who went second overall?Or instead of trading up to take Markelle Fultz first overall, they took All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum? How about if the team didn't trade Villanova's Mikal Bridges for Zhaire Smith right after they drafted him?Fultz started three games last year for Orlando and averaged 10 points.Meanwhile, the Sixers remain stuck in a perpetual cycle of 2nd round-exits.Or, an NBA Finals?
