Evan Turner has had an up and down tenure in Philly. Last year he averaged career highs in points (13.3), rebounds (6.3) and assists (4.3), but he was extremely inefficient and still has poor shot selection. Because he was the number two overall pick, these numbers do not meet up to lofty expectations.
Others players 76ers could have drafted: DeMarcus Cousins, Greg Monroe, Paul George.
As the 12th overall pick, Thaddeus Young has carved out a nice career in the league. Last year he averaged 14.8 points and 7.5 rebounds and he is the king of hustle out there on the court. The Sixers got high value with this pick.
Other players 76ers could have selected: Marc Gasol.
Although he never suited up for the 76ers, Thabo Sefolosha has had a solid NBA career. He was traded on draft day for Rodney Carney and has made a nice career out of hitting the three-pointer and being one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
Other players 76ers could have drafted: Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap
When Andre Iguodala was selected number nine overall, he had many critics. I personally feel he did a great job in Philly. He took the team to within one win of the Eastern Conference Finals last season and was an Olympian and an All-Star. He boasts career averages of 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
Players 76ers could have drafted instead: Al Jefferson, Josh Smith.
Larry Hughes was a high pick (eighth overall) and was taken to form "The Flight Brothers" with teammate Allen Iverson. It was exciting for his year and a half in Philly and he bounced around to different teams and put together a decent career after that (14.1 points per game). The reason the grade isn't higher is because of who the Sixers passed up on to take him.
Other players 76ers could have drafted: Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Al Harrington, Rashard Lewis.
